The NATO research committee looks to Canada for leadership in mental health to the point that I was asked, partly for that reason, to be the chair of the NATO medical and health research committee. One of our specialists is the chair of the mild traumatic brain injury research group, and another is the mentor of the military suicide research group. NATO tends to look to us for lots of reasons, but primarily because of the comprehensiveness and the extent of our programs.
A couple of years ago, the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine did a study of stigma in the armed forces. It found that of the major allies—Britain, Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and New Zealand—Canada had the lowest rate of mental health stigma. And the commentary included comments about the comprehensiveness of our program and that it appears to be working in many respects.
