URegina, Medavie launch hub to support youth connected to public safety personnel

News

The University of Regina’s Child Trauma Research Centre (CTRC) and the Medavie Foundation have created and launched a new resource hub called PSP Youth and Kids. Supported by a $600K grant, the web-based hub will offer resources and training tailored to the mental health needs of children and youth connected to public safety personnel (PSP). “What began as a growing awareness of PTSD in public safety personnel has expanded organically to include the mental health and well-being of PSP families and now PSP children,” said URegina CTRC Director Dr Nathalie Reid. Researchers will also study these children’s experiences to develop evidence-based supports for caregivers, educators, and service providers.
