National Collaborative on PTSD and Related Mental Health Conditions

CIPSRT and the Atlas Institute for Veterans and Families have come together to form the National Collaborative on Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Related Mental Health Conditions. The Collaborative aims to enhance our collective understanding of PTSD. Members of the Collaborative represent a wide range of expertise from all across Canada.

A core mission of the National Collaborative is to establish a national forum for knowledge exchange. The forum will increase understanding and improve the mental health sector’s capacity to support the mental health and wellbeing of the first responders and other public safety personnel across Canada, as well as their leaders and families.

Acknowledging the importance of collaboration to support the mental health and well-being of individuals affected by service-related PTSD and their Families, members of the National Collaborative came together to call for continued and sustained support and action across all sectors and levels of government to improve the treatment outcomes for those whose chosen careers have resulted in serious mental health concerns.
