CAF Mental Health Services |
The vision of Canadian Forces Physiotherapy is to provide professional excellence in physiotherapy services, demonstrated in the ability to contribute to the rehabilitation and maintenance of operationally deployable forces and by providing physical and measurable solutions to operational readiness. |
The main providers of mental health resources for CAF members are located within CF Health Services. These service providers will offer assistance or refer the member to appropriate resources such as psychosocial or mental health programs, addiction services or Operational and Trauma Stress Support Centers. |
Mental Health Care (OSI clinics) |
Operational Stress Injury Social Support |
Each Operational Stress Injury Clinic provides assessment, treatment, prevention and support to serving CAF members, Veterans and RCMP members and former members. Treatment options at each OSI clinic are on an outpatient basis and include one-on-one therapy or group sessions to address anxiety, insomnia, anger and other issues. |
Operational Stress Injury Social Support (OSISS) provides a national peer support network for CAF members, Veterans and their families experiencing an operational stress injury. |
Psychologists |
Strengthening the Forces |
The directory of all registrants of the Canadian Register of Health Service Psychologists is updated every month to ensure you have access to a list of qualified health psychologists. If you have a case manager, ask about insurance coverage for psychosocial support as soon as you know your release date. |
Strengthening the Forces enables the CAF leadership to develop and sustain a strong, healthy and fit force, in an environment which supports a lifestyle dedicated to eating well, injury prevention, coping effectively and living addiction-free. |
