OSI/PTSI can occur when a person directly experiences or witnesses a traumatic event. It can also happen with repeated exposure to traumatic events and details, as with OSICAN’s target group: military, first responders, 911 dispatchers, corrections, tow truck drivers, and all public safety personnel.
We at OSI-CAN are able to refer you to a counsellor such as a Psychologist specialized in dealing with Trauma situations such as an OSI or PTSD whether you have a diagnosis or not. We can also provide funding for a limited amount of sessions with a Psychologist or Counsellor if needed!
