CANADIAN CRITICAL INCIDENT STRESS FOUNDATION

OUR STORY

Our Purpose

The Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation is a national charity, providing support and advocacy to our Canadian First Resonders, Veterans and their families.  As a national charity, the purpose of the CCISF is to provide a network of resources, programs and education, that enables and enhances crisis response to first resonders and their families, impacted by trauma. The Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation recognizes the need to not only support our active duty emergency personnel, but to also support and never forget the families and children of those members that have died in the line of duty, by suicide, or sudden death. 

Our Vision
That all first responder organizations will have effective and efficient programs in place to assist individuals exposed to trauma. That every organization will have consistent programs and processes that utilizes nonjudgement and confidential peer programs and resources that assist members dealing with trauma. That every member of an emergency service has access to ongoing quality support through peer crisis programs, resources, and best practises, that can assist in the healing process and nurture and promote psychological wellness.

Our Future

 Is to be a leader in Canada for mental health initiatives for first responders and their families. To continue to explore new initiatives and processes that will further support active-duty personnel, reduce mental health stigma, and increase awareness regarding mental health concerns, not only for our front line, but their families as well.


The work of the CCISF is fuelled by research, best practices, powerful partnerships, and the dedication of many volunteers across Canada. By identifying gaps in services, resources, programs, and support, we can affect positive and lasting change.


Together we can male a difference!
