Jon A. Archambault

In July 2022, I became a Certified Life Coach with a certification from the Arizona Trauma Institute.
As a Life Coach, it’s my overarching goal to help veterans to develop professional resiliency to satisfy the mental health needs of law enforcement. 
Utilizing both the tools I acquired throughout my recovery and the skills of leadership and management developed as a member of CANSOFCOM, I support my clients as they overcome life’s many struggles and traumas. Supporting those in uniform and the wider community, it’s my goal to better prepare veterans with the ability to confront and overcome mental health injuries. 
In addition to 1:1 sessions, this can include working through trauma in family-based settings. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist for both families and individuals, I also work with veterans and their families to overcome compassion fatigue and equip them with the tools and strategies to manage and understand the complexities of trauma injuries.
Sessions often take place remotely, allowing me to work with veterans from all over the world. For interest in both 1:1, family and group sessions, send me a private message – no problem is too complex for us to face together.

Cégep de Shawinigan

In 2019, I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD as a result of what I had been exposed to in the military, police and special forces. Unable to return to my former positions within the police and military, I dedicated my career to advocating for the mental health of those in service.
As a Speaker, I led sessions and talks on mental health in the armed forces and first response services to help equip others with the tools and mechanisms to navigate difficult scenarios with the support needed to overcome mental health hardships.

Operation: Wired Differently (April 2021)
Peace and safety is a basic human right. That’s why we need key responders: soldiers, police, paramedics, firefighters and frontline hospital personnel. But key responders are just like me and you – they’re human. And humans aren’t made to cope with repetitive trauma.
Special Operations Forces and civic policing changed me. Consumed daily with running towards danger, my mind and body stopped me from going any further. I was diagnosed with Complex PTSD and Operational Stress Injury.
Now, my act of service takes on a different form: I’m sharing my story. As an author, it’s my goal to advocate for the mental health of all in the armed forces, first responders and people in uniform. I aim to honor my colleagues and continue to save lives – by educating people about life on the ground and offering support and understanding for those putting their lives on the line who battle with the images of trauma every single day. 
Operation: Wired Differently helps people to understand Operational Stress Injury (OSI) and Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), grasp the role of first responders who are at risk or have already been diagnosed, and adopt a role to readers that allows them to assist those who put their lives on the line for peace and safety.
