Serving in the RCMP often comes with great pride, but also exposure to psychologically traumatic events.

As a result, nearly half of RCMP members are struggling with mental health disorders. The stigma around speaking about it and the low intent to seek help only make matters worse.

Normalizing conversations around mental health and access to effective treatment are both needed to help the recovery process.

“Boys don’t cry.” “Tough it out.” “Be strong.” Common phrases men heard too much growing up, and it’s impacting their ability to admit when they need help.

The first step is breaking down the stigma around mental health disorders and the notion that showing emotion is a sign of weakness.

June is Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month. Let’s work together towards creating an atmosphere of support and compassion for those who are struggling.

Overcoming addiction, trauma, and mental health disorders is never a solo effort. And that’s never more true than with Canada’s First Nations communities.

EHN Canada is committed to providing culturally sensitive and trauma-informed care to Indigenous clients and to supporting the healing and well-being of Indigenous communities.
We recognize the importance of learning from Indigenous leaders and perspectives and we strive to incorporate this knowledge into our programs.

To support EHN Edgewood's Indigenous clients today we are starting our day with a guest, Peter Mckay, opening with a prayer and a song. We are also doing a ceremony and cedar brushing later in the day. Mary Hill, clinical counsellor, will make cedar roes with the patients in the afternoon, and for lunch, we have asked the kitchen to prepare bison stew and scow bread.

Our Story

Through new research in medicine and neuroscience, we know that while there are social-emotional factors that contribute to addictive behavior, the brain biochemistry of a person suffering with addiction is different than the biochemistry of someone who is not dependent on drugs or alcohol. The lifestyle of addiction typically results in further depletion of important nutrients which, over time, interferes with brain function and reinforces the dependence. Rebalancing the body on a biochemical and neurological level is a key element in lasting recovery, as it addresses the deficiencies and imbalances that often make an individual prone to addiction. At CHRC, we understand that the physiological and neurological damage caused by the abuse of alcohol and/or drugs must be treated as part of the process of recovery if life-long sobriety is the goal. We use orthomolecular nutrition to rebalance and nourish the body on a biochemical level – the body and mind are strengthened, and overall health and vitality are improved. A healthy body has reduced cravings, fewer mood swings, more self-control and less physical and emotional pain. Our orthomolecular nutrition treatment program lays the foundation for physical and emotional healing and normalized neurotransmitter function. CHRC utilizes laboratory data, nutritional supplementation and a specialized diet to balance the body’s biochemistry, target cravings and facilitate mental-emotional health.
