Purpose

As a whole, the consortium will build the evidence base related to post-traumatic stress injury (PTSI) among public safety personnel (PSP) and disseminate this research evidence to public safety stakeholders, knowledge users and policy makers. As part of the national research consortium, CIPSRT will serve as the hub for knowledge synthesis, knowledge translation and knowledge exchange. CIPSRT will also focus on developing a prototype for an internet-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (iCBT) model which will be used to support PSP who either screen positively for symptoms of a mental disorder or who may experience or be susceptible to mental health challenges given their work.
