DURHAM REGION POLICE AND PARAMEDIC SERVICES TEAM UP WITH WOUNDED WARRIORS CANADA

The Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) and Region of Durham Paramedic Services (RDPS) are proud to announce a partnership agreement with Wounded Warriors Canada.

This partnership adds an additional layer of mental health support for first responders. Through this partnership, Wounded Warriors Canada will work directly with DRPS and RDPS to offer their innovative mental health programs and services to their members and their families.

“The health, safety and wellness of our members is of utmost importance to us. This includes their mental health. Any opportunity that we can take to provide them with more resources and services in this regard is a welcome addition for the DRPS,” says Chief Paul Martin.

“Today’s announcement recognizes the fact that no one service, association, government agency, or organization will ever be the 100 per cent solution for their members in need of mental health support. When a member is struggling, it doesn’t matter where, when or how the injury occurred. What matters is that our first responders and their family members know that we are in this together – working to ensure they receive the help they so rightly deserve,” says Scott Maxwell, Executive Director of  Wounded Warriors Canada. “We are proud to partner with Durham Regional Police and Durham Region Paramedic Services and look forward to doing our part to support their members and their families.”
