Our Services and Performance

We provide a wide range of operational stress treatment services aimed at meeting the needs of soldiers, veterans and RCMP members.

These services include: Assessment of operational stress injuries. Treatment of OSIs through evidence-based talk therapy, medication management and group therapy. Education to veterans, military members, and their families, as well as to other professionals and the general public.

Due to the rules under which all OSI Clinics are established, members cannot refer themselves directly for services.

To receive services, you must be referred by either VAC, the CF or the RCMP. We do not take referrals directly from family doctors.

An OSI can be a serious health problem in the same sense as a severed limb or a shrapnel wound. If you are concerned that you may have been affected by operational stress at any time in your life, you should contact one of the following services in order to be referred to the OSI Clinic:

• Veterans of the Canadian Forces or retired RCMP should speak to their Area Counsellor at VAC, or call the Contact Centre, at 1-866-522-2122 (English) or 1-866-522-2022 (French).
• Current regular members of the Canadian Forces should approach their physician or social worker on base to discuss the concern.
• Members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police should speak to their Health Services Officer. The Winnipeg OSI Clinic serves both D and V Divisions (Manitoba and Nunavut).
• Persons with other types of military services should call the Contact Centre, at 1-866-522-2122 or 1-866-522-2022.
