Building Collaborations to Help Manage PTSD Among Public Safety Personnel with Dr. R. Nicholas Carleton
Public Safety Personnel are regularly exposed to potentially psychologically traumatic events as a function of their work, and recent evidence indicates nearly half may currently screen positive for one or more mental health disorders. In 2018, the Government of Canada dedicated funding to catalyze creation of evidence-based solutions through a consortium between the Canadian Institute for Public Safety Research and Treatment (CIPSRT) and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research as part of a national action plan to address posttraumatic stress disorder and other posttraumatic stress injuries. This presentation provides an overview of CIPSRT activities, past, present, and future. (Recorded May 18, 2021)
