PSPNET is committed to delivering exceptional online mental health care to public safety personnel.

About PSPNET

PSPNET specializes in internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT) for public safety personnel (PSP). It’s like regular therapy but delivered via online courses. It’s private, convenient, and effective.

We know people often look for mental health help online, so we make sure PSP get high-quality, trusted support.

PSPNET is based at the University of Regina with team members across Canada. Our founder, Dr. Heather Hadjistavropoulos, and co-investigator, Dr. R. Nicholas Carleton, are leading experts in the field.

What We Offer

We help PSP with common challenges like depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder, and sleep. Through easy-to-follow online learning modules combined with weekly therapist support from a therapist by secure email or phone, PSP get effective, flexible care.

We have three main courses:

  • Wellbeing Course for a range of mental health issues (also offered in a self-guided format)
  • PTSD Course for posttraumatic stress symptoms
  • Sleep Course for sleep concerns

 

Funding

PSPNET is funded by the Government of Canada through the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness with additional support from the provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and the Medavie Health Foundation. This funding enables us to reach PSP everywhere, including those in remote and underserved areas.
