CMHA SK / OSI-CAN SK

OSI-CAN is a program of the Canadian Mental Health Assoc. SK Div. OSI-CAN provides mental health support to Veterans and Public Safety Personnel dealing with Occupational Stress Injury (OSI)/Post Traumatic Stress Injury (PTSI). We have a special interest and support volunteer First Responders as they are not eligible for programs such as workers' compensation.

One of the greatest strengths of our model is that no formal diagnosis or referral is required.  Participants just need to be willing to admit to themselves that they might need some help and contact us.

Our support groups provide a secure and confidential forum that is built on anonymity. Here their issues can be discussed with others that are going through the same thing without fear of judgement or criticism. It is within the support group that other needs are identified, addressed and routed through our network of service providers.

We have an ever-expanding network of service providers to link members with other services necessary for their recovery such as Housing, Counselling, Vocational Training, Psycho-social Rehabilitation, Advice on Prescriptions, Horse-Assisted Therapy and financial assistance for those needing a Service Dog. OSI-CAN also provides a Family and Close Friends of OSI support group as well as a Phone-In support group.

OSI-CAN operates solely through private donations.

Thank you for supporting the men and women who support us.
