WCB PEI PARTNERS WITH WOUNDED WARRIORS CANADA TO STRENGTHEN PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH SUPPORTS FOR TRAUMA EXPOSED PROFESSIONALS
Wounded Warriors Canada and The Workers Compensation Board PEI (WCB) are proud to announce a partnership aimed at strengthening the psychological health and safety of Trauma Exposed Professionals in the province.
“We’re proud to partner with Wounded Warriors Canada,” said Dan Campbell, CEO of the WCB. “We recognize that the needs of injured workers are constantly evolving and that psychological injuries require adapted programs and services. This partnership will help enhance the supports available to injured workers in their journey to recovery and is an important step forward in strengthening how we support psychological health across our organization and for the workers that we serve.”
As part of the agreement, WCB team members will participate in ongoing trauma resiliency and informed training led by Wounded Warriors Canada. Team members have already participated in the Basics of Trauma workshop, and more training has been planned this spring.
“This is another significant milestone for Wounded Warriors Canada in Atlantic Canada and, ultimately, for those we serve. Our partnership with WCB PEI speaks to the power of collaboration and a shared commitment to helping ensure our injured Trauma-Exposed Professionals receive the culturally specific mental health supports they need and deserve,” says Scott Maxwell, Chief Executive Officer of Wounded Warriors Canada. “We look forward to building on our work underway and supporting the WCB PEI’s program to best serve those who keep the province safe.”
In addition to the partnership, Wounded Warriors Canada is co-hosting the 2026 Atlantic Canada First Responders’ Mental Health Conference in Charlottetown, June 2-3. The conference brings representatives from across the public safety sector together to learn about best practices related to research, training, clinical interventions, organizational supports, and individual and family-based care.
The WCB serves close to 6,800 employers and over 92,000 workers throughout Prince Edward Island. It partners with employers and workers in building safe and healthy workplaces and supports recovery, if an injury occurs, through the administration of the Workers Compensation Act and the Occupational Health and Safety Act. Serious work-related injuries and explosions must be reported immediately by calling the 24-hour Occupational Health and Safety Emergency Line at 902-628-7513.
