Lindsay Maclean BSW MSW RSW
Owner and founder of Innate Renewal
I am the spouse of a former CAF member (Infantry, 1RCR) and have nearly 20 years of experience using and navigating various military and veteran programs. My children have shared these experiences alongside us. With time, patience, and understanding, unique experiences can be normalized and integrated, such as what public safety personnel and their families experience. Still, the struggle exists to balance the challenges inherent in these lines of careers with home life and other inevitable life stressors.
​​​
I have also had the wonderful experience of being part of a volunteer fire service for over 7 years. The impact of being a female in a male-dominated environment is something I understand well, as it is inherent in these cultures.
I greatly value these cultures and devote my practice to understanding public safety personnel and their families' unique challenges.​

Reaching out to receive support can also be challenging!
Just as we ask for physical assistance when needed, we can reduce the stigma of reaching out for mental support, even if it is for preventative care.
