   Talking About Mental Health Changes in Early Career RCMP with Dr. R. Nicholas Carleton

   Research has long established that serving RCMP members frequently screen positive for mental health disorders, but it has remained unclear exactly when these challenges begin to develop after deployment. Listen to the podcast to learn about the significant increase in positive screens for disorders like PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder after just the first year of service, and how these findings challenge the debate regarding recruitment screening versus service-related injury.

   Talking about the Link between Mental Health and Physical Health of RCMP Cadets with Dr. R. Nicholas Carleton

   First responders face an elevated risk of Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE) due to occupational stressors, yet the early physiological warning signs linking the "head to the heart" often go undetected during early training. Listen to the podcast to learn how mental health symptoms were found to correlate with increased cardiac strain among RCMP Cadets and what these findings from the 10-year RCMP Study mean for early prevention.

Listen to the podcast to learn about how the training program influences traits like anxiety, perfectionism, and inquisitiveness, resulting in personality profiles considered desirable for contemporary policing.
