Published purpose

The purpose of the contribution is to provide funding to establish a national research consortium on post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) among public safety personnel (PSP). As a whole, the consortium will build the evidence base related to PTSI among PSP and disseminate this research evidence to public safety stakeholders, knowledge users and policy makers. This project will also develop a prototype internet-based therapy model to respond to PSP mental health needs. The prototype internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) model will be used to support public safety personnel who either screen positively for symptoms of a mental disorder or who may experience or be susceptible to mental health challenges given their work.
