​

The Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation (CCISF) is a national charity dedicated to supporting and advocating for Canadian first responders, veterans, and their families. Our goal is to offer a comprehensive network of resources, programs, and education designed to enhance crisis response and recovery for those impacted by trauma. We are committed to not only aiding active-duty personnel but also honouring and supporting the families and children of those who have died in the line of duty, by suicide, or through sudden death. Our goal is to ensure that every individual affected by trauma receives the care and recognition they deserve, fostering resilience and healing throughout the entire community.

Our Mission

At the Canadian Critical Incident Stress Foundation (CCISF), our mission is to support and empower first responders, military members, and their families by providing comprehensive assistance, guidance, education and support. We are dedicated to fostering resilience and well-being through critical incident stress management and community outreach, ensuring that those who serve our nation receive the care and support they deserve

Our Vision

We envision a future where every frontline organization is equipped with effective and efficient programs to support individuals exposed to trauma. Our vision is to see all organizations implement consistent, nonjudgmental, and confidential support systems, ensuring that every emergency service, healthcare providers and military members have access to continuous, high-quality care. By integrating best practices and resources, we strive to promote healing, enhance psychological wellness, and build a resilient community for those who serve.

Our Future

  We pledge to continuously explore and implement innovative strategies that enhance support for active-duty personnel and their families by reducing mental health stigma, and increase awareness of mental health issues. Our efforts aim to benefit not only our members but also their families, fostering a comprehensive approach to mental well-being.

Our work is driven by research, best practices, powerful partnerships, and the dedication of numerous volunteers across Canada. By identifying gaps in services, resources, programs, and support, we strive to effect positive and lasting change in the lives of those we serve.

Together we can male a difference!
