Dave Kervin is an Ambassador for Wounded Warriors Canada (WWC), a national mental health service provider dedicated to serving Trauma Exposed Organizations, Trauma Exposed Professionals and their families. WWC specializes in providing services that utilize a combination of education, counselling, and training approaches in the delivery of culturally specific mental health training and counselling programs that support resiliency and recovery from post-trauma injuries in the workplace and at home. Resiliency requires a combination of relevant and usable knowledge, skills practice, and ongoing social support to grow and be sustained. Recovery from post-trauma injury requires specific interventions, member support, and community resources to flourish and be sustained. Wounded Warriors Canada is proud to be a national leader in both areas.

"It feels like writing this play has been a culmination of my life’s experiences and obsessions. Having lost both of my parents as a young woman, I grappled with the concepts of legacy, of starting over, of identity, of history and roots and we are all somehow tethered to the past by an invisible umbilical cord. It has been a deep honour to explore these concepts through the stories of the people who risked so much to begin again in this new world."

Join us as Megan Murphy shares her story about researching and writing the 4th Line Theatre play, Wild Irish Geese.
