Feeling this intensely in #YXE, which didn’t have enough psychs to begin with - let alone trauma-trained ones. 😔 If you’re on on a waitlist, try @TherapyUser or drop-in therapy at FSS/CFS. Also, workbooks & podcasts can be a great starting point.

Here’s my favorite cognitive behavioral therapy workbook:

A great mental health podcast:

And a list of local crisis resources for more urgent support.

Exciting news - my publication on PTSD in SK police officers is online ahead of print! This was my dissertation baby, and I'm very happy it's out in the world so I can share with you. Keep scrolling for the highlight reel... (1/9)

@rncarleton

(2/9) 500 police officers in Saskatchewan (both RCMP & municipal police) were surveyed for: symptoms of PTSD; known risk and protective factors for PTSD; and post-traumatic growth (PTG - where some people report positive changes bc of trauma - such as stronger relationships).

(3/9) The main finding is that 25% of RCMP officers & 12% of municipal officers screened positive for PTSD. Unclear why, but RCMP have remote postings, frequently move, & are often first on scene; city police are closer to resources like EMT on scene, & closer to PTSD treatment.
