Mood Disorders Society of Canada (MDSC) is very proud to launch the newest addition as part of our public educational resource series:
Operational Stress Injuries and Other Traumatic Stress: Therapies and Treatment for Veterans
This educational resource is aimed at supporting the knowledge needs of Canadian Veterans and their families. MDSC is well-known for its series of education handbooks, published online and in hardcopy, for patients, caregivers, families, health care providers, employers and the general public. This resource library presents these complex subjects so they are easily understood. Where appropriate, it offers links to additional information and resources.
“We all care about our health. Knowledge is power – if we understand how treatments are used to address different mental illnesses, we can be more competent equal partners in our recovery and wellness maintenance. By informing ourselves and becoming better engaged in our health care, we are then empowered to ensure we are getting the best individualized treatments.” states Dave Gallson, National Executive Director of the Mood Disorders Society of Canada
Mood Disorders Society of Canada wishes to express our sincere gratitude to The Centre of Excellence on Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Related Mental Health Conditions who provided funding and support to produce this publication. We would also like to thank the resources Advisory Group consisting of: Veterans, Family Members, Caregivers, Psychiatrists and Stakeholders, who provided input into the content of this educational resource. We greatly value their contribution to this project.
