Thinking about Nancy and the kids today. May Joe sleep peacefully until we’re all together again.
On October 7th, 1993, Cst. Joseph MacDonald was killed in the line of duty. He was survived by his wife & two children. He will always be remembered for his great sense of humour, larger-than-life personality, strength, courage, compassion & passion for athletics. #HeroesInLife

Message from Dr. Christina Harrington about Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T). "After attending and presenting at a national PTSD conference in 2016 at Memorial University, I was intrigued by a developing therapy offered in the US that "held promise" for rapidly processing
