Shaping Purpose for Veterans
Find Your New Identity and Purpose After the Military
Who is it for?
A critical part of transitioning from military to civilian life is finding one’s purpose and a new identity. The Shaping Purpose
program helps CAF members and veterans identify their core gifts, passions and values, which helps them find the clarity they need to plan their way through the transition to civilian life.
By employing a highly interactive and engaging program, Shaping Purpose enables individuals to identify their Gifts (skills applicable to the civilian world), Passions (interests most crucial to their mental well-being) and their Values (personal code of honour). A Well-
Being model is incorporated into the program which addresses Prosperity, Health and Happiness. The program culminates with the creation of a Life Plan which allows participants to plan actionable steps to move forward and live a more fulfilling life.
Anyone releasing from the CAF or released in the last 3 years can participate in a FREE in-person Shaping Purpose Session, registration information is below.
