Safeguard or Health & Wellness Check

---

Even if you’re not ready for therapy, a Safeguard or Health & Wellness Check offers an annual or semi-annual, confidential 80-minute appointment to keep your mental health fit for duty—no different from a physical with your family doctor. 

Not a first responder? This is a great mental health check-up for anyone!

Health & Wellness Checks not only uncover current challenges, but also highlight your strengths and sources of resiliency. They establish a valuable baseline for tracking progress throughout your career or journey!

• Evidence-based screening – PCL-5, PHQ-9, GAD-7, RISC and the Operational-Stress Injury Check-Up.
   
• Brief consult + feedback – Talk through sleep, mood, exposure levels, and coping skills with a psychologist who “gets” the job.
   
• Early warning & referral – Catch red flags long before they become critical incidents or time-off claims.
   
• Meets emerging Canadian standards – the CACP Psychological Services Committee recommends routine, mandatory mental-health checks for police and other public-safety personnel under the Safeguard model. cacp.ca
   
• Confidential: Results belong to you; we only share fitness-for-duty notes if you ask.
   

Note: Many agencies provide or cover annual wellness checks; if yours doesn’t, receipts qualify for most extended-health plans.
