Here for Families
Evidence-based resources and a community who gets it – serving military, veteran, first responder and other public safety families.
Are You a Garnet Family?
Does your family navigate shift work, concern for your loved one’s safety, missed celebrations, and traumatic events as part of the job? Then you are a Garnet Family. You, and many families like yours, are connected to sectors that have to navigate all of these demands all at once.
We get it, we’ve lived it, and
we are a community for you.

When One Serves,
the Whole Family Serves
We know that being involved in defence and public safety requires your family to carry extra demands – navigating logistics, complicated identities, mobility, and risks at once. Our resources, rooted in research and our own connections to the community, are built to meet the unique experiences of your family.
You’re
Not Alone
PSPNET Families is an online wellbeing hub designed to support the specific yet diverse challenges faced by public safety personnel.

A Family of Families
At Garnet Families Network, we recognize that there is no one typical defence and PSP experience and that there is no one typical family.
We know you want to be a family that thrives, even in the face of the unique and increased challenges that come with a family member who serves.
We believe that families matter unequivocally in their own right, with experiences, needs, and issues directly and indirectly related to the occupations of the family member.
That’s why we created Garnet Families, so service personnel families can access free, relevant resources and community that have a positive impact on their well-being before the issues arise. You aren’t alone; you are a part of the Garnet Family.
