ClinConnect Summary

The "Risk and Resiliency Factors in the RCMP: A Prospective Investigation" study is looking into how to better understand and support the mental health of Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) members. Many RCMP officers face tough situations that can lead to mental health issues like posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSI). This study aims to develop effective ways to assess and treat these challenges, ultimately benefiting all public safety personnel in Canada. It will track new cadets in their training program over five years, comparing traditional training methods to enhanced training that includes skills to help manage stress and trauma.

To participate in this study, you need to be a new cadet starting the RCMP Cadet Training Program. The study will involve regular assessments and surveys to monitor your mental health and how well the training methods work. By joining, you’ll not only help improve your own mental health but also contribute to creating better support systems for all officers in the future.
