2027 CIPSRT Champions of Mental Health Recognition Program – Application

The Champions of Mental Health program has successfully recognized individuals who have made meaningful contributions to improving mental health within Canada’s public safety community. After four years of implementation, the program has establishedcredibility and increased awareness of the importance of mental health leadership across public safety personnel (PSP). 

The Champions of Mental Health program was established to recognize individuals who demonstrate outstanding leadership, advocacy, and commitment to improving mental health within Canada’s public safety community. 

Over the past four years, the program has celebrated inspiring individuals whose efforts have contributed to reducing stigma, supporting colleagues, promoting psychological wellbeing, and creating healthier workplaces. 

As awareness of the program has grown, so too has the complexity of administering it. The increasing number and quality of nominations have resulted in more extensive adjudication discussions, greater staff coordination, and significant time devoted to selecting a limited number of recipients.
