Abstract
Almost every Canadian has been affected in some way by a mental health issue - either directly or indirectly. While this is an alarming reality, our first responders, including our national police force, are impacted more than most. Every day, Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officers deal with the pressures and stresses associated with policing. Throughout their careers they are exposed to higher rates of traumatic events than the general public.
