Canuckcare operates independently and in complete confidentiality, advising
Police Services Boards, Administrators and Police Associations on issues
concerning the Police Services Act. We help to clarify the role of Police
Services Boards and accelerate problem resolution through formal or informal
intervention.
Fact Finding/Consulting
Fact-finding is a highly unique service in which Canuckcare conducts
research for our clients, and then assists them in making decisions based on
the new information. This service is available to organizations in both the
private and the public sectors.
Victim Services
Canuckcare believes in being proactive and responsive to the complex needs
of victims. We work closely with the victims' movement to provide effective
training for professionals dealing with survivors of trauma, as well as
post-traumatic stress and its effects. For many businesses and governments
in Canada, the US and the UK, we are the Trainers of Choice.
Emergency Services
Our crisis response and grief counselling services to emergency personnel
(police officers, firefighters, healthcare providers) are certified by the
Association of Traumatic Stress Specialists and The National Organization
for Victim Assistance in Washington, DC. We even train the trainers so that
our clients can learn to heal their own employees. Canuckcarešs training
helps professionals to cope with the tense and potentially volatile
situations they confront on a daily basis. Our services include
crisis intervention, death notification and media relations.
Educators
Recent years have seen an increase in the number of dangerous and violent
incidents in the education system. The demands placed on educators are high
and require specialized training in identification, intervention and
prevention of traumatic events. Wešve drawn on years of experience in the
police services and training of Trauma Response Teams to define a
specialized program for educators.
Bereavement/Grief Counselling and Training
Canuckcare has developed a training model to address the need for sensitive
and compassionate notification of death or traumatic incidents. We welcome
the opportunity to train others in this critical area.
Employee Assistance Programs
Employee assistance programs find specialized support and training with
Canuckcare. The result? Increased productivity, improved employee morale and
decreased absenteeism in the workplace.
Services for the Legal Profession
We specialize in providing research and consultation for law firms in the
area of law enforcement, civilian oversight and related fields including
expert opinion evidence.
