Ridge Meadows PTSD Patient Voice Working Group

For patients who are diagnosed with PTSD, to share their lived experience in regard to accessing care. For example: what was helpful, not helpful, what type of care do they wish they had, what do primary care and acute care providers need to be thinking about when providing care, etc.)

This information will be shared with the project leadership team to help inform project strategies and intended outcomes.

Meeting frequency TBD. We are currently in our initial EOI phase to understand gaps in PTSD care and potential solutions. The current commitment is a single meeting prior to October 8, 2025. If we receive full project funding (we will know by the end of November 2025), meetings will likely take place once per quarter, approximately 1 hour. All meetings will be offered in a hybrid format (virtual or at the Division office in Maple Ridge, BC).
