The Canadian military’s treatment of mentally injured troops came under fire from media and politicians after four soldiers committed suicide earlier this month. The senior officers whose job it is to lead care for mentally injured troops met this week with the Ottawa Citizen’s CHRIS COBB.
Deputy Surgeon General Colin Mackay, Director of Mental Health Scott McLeod and Senior Psychiatrist Rakesh Jetly said they asked for the interview in an effort to promote the military’s mental health programs and to help generate trust in what they claim is one of the leading mental health programs in Canada.
