Every study we do, and we do a lot, we specifically include reservists. So far, consistently, all the research has been demonstrating that the rate of mental illness among reservists, whether related to deployed operations or not, is actually lower than it is among the regular force. Up to half in one study—half the rate of certain prevalent mental illnesses.
However, they're at greater risk because they don't have the social supports when they're demobilized, when they come back from deployed operations. Particularly those who return to units where they were the only person deployed on that operation, or a unit that's distant from a military base with a military clinic and the social setting, the social supports, that would help them either resolve their issues or encourage them to get into care.
For that reason, we have various things like the field ambulance medical link teams or the reserve field ambs whose job is to educate and to try to identify those individuals and get them into care.
There's education of all the chain of command for the same purpose. The Royal Canadian Legion has joined us as a partner because they have—I can't remember—2,400 or 1,400 centres across the country in every community. So they've agreed to set themselves up as a storefront for all of the programs available. They already do that to some extent, but they're going to expand that to all of the programs available to get people into care from within the armed forces or from Veterans Affairs, for those released from the reserve force.
We recognize that it is a special vulnerability that we have to pay particular attention to, and we have measures to try to get the word to them, identify them, and bring them into care and, if necessary, transport them. We permit them to get local care, if necessary, but the ideal is to get them to our specialized military mental health centres.
