The Military Veterans Wellness Program (MVWP) is a first of its kind program aimed to help improve the well-being of Canadian military veterans by providing law enforcement members with a better understanding of the issues veterans may be facing and providing them with the tools to help.
This program was developed in partnership with the Toronto Police Service - Community Partnership & Engagement Unit (CPEU), Department of National Defence (DND), Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), The Royal Canadian Legion (RCL), Operational Stress Injury Social Support (OSISS) and many others.
The MVWP training program is available free of charge on the Canadian Police Knowledge Network (CPKN) www.cpkn.ca/en/course/military-veterans-wellness-program. It provides an understanding about military culture, challenges transitioning to civilian life and mental and physical barriers. It also addresses how a veteran may begin having suicidal ideations, or living in a situation where they do not have a home and experience crisis. The MVWP is a complete program, which provides de-escalation training specific to a veteran in crisis, information about the national veteran social services and the mechanism to make a timely referral. The program will better equip law enforcement members to recognize veterans in crisis in their community and help them get access to the support they need.
The projected outcomes include;
Reducing the number of veterans living without a home and/or in mental health crisis;
Providing dignity and prosperity for all our Canadian Armed Forces veterans;
Increasing public safety in communities across Canada;
Provide additional resources for law enforcement members for their own well-being.
