Garnet Families Interactive Series: The Tired Side of Service

Wednesday, September 24, 2025.
10:00 am – 11:00 am CST | 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EDT

 

We invite you to join Marilyn Cox, Dr. Heidi Cramm, and Dr. Linna Tam-Seto as they broaden focus on the often-overlooked connection between sleep in public safety personnel (PSP) and their families. From shift work to trauma exposure, the demands of these high-stress jobs can lead to significant sleep disturbances, affecting both the serving member and their loved ones. Understanding these impacts lays the foundation for the development of tailored interventions and policies that support the sleep health and well-being of PSP and their families.

While this is an open event and all are welcome, please note, registration is required. Information gathered from this event will play a vital role in growing a community that will serve and support Garnet families across Canada. Following the event, attendees will be asked to complete a survey to inform the format, frequency, and themes of future Garnet Families activities. This event is presented in English with the option of French subtitles.

We would like to acknowledge the support of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Partnership Grant (What about the families? Strengthening a family’s research ecosystem for defence and public safety sectors) and the Medavie Foundation.
