The scope of mental health concerns among public safety personnel (PSP) cannot be fully understood without research. Research also provides a base of evidence for effective treatment and training programs. CIPSRT, in partnership with the Canadian Institute for Health Research (CIHR), has established
a consortium to fund and mobilize research for PSP groups and organizations. CIPSRT strives to be a leader in the mobilization of research supporting the mental health of PSP, their leaders, and their families.
CIPSRT’s mandate also includes establishing and maintaining a network of researchers, post-doctoral fellows, and students working in the field of PSP mental health research. By bringing together the best minds in the field and promoting the development of new experts, CIPSRT can help expand the research
on PSP mental health.
This event will delve into innovative strategies and evidence-based practices designed to enhance the mental and physical well-being of those serving on the front lines. Attendees will gain valuable knowledge on current trends, effective interventions, and practical tools to support the health and resilience of public safety professionals. Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a leading expert in the field and to engage in a meaningful discussion on improving care for our vital workforce.
