I agree. There is a lot of research being done in separate entities, but nothing has been correlated together. You are going to get a variance in percentages. This is one group saying that they've looked at it; they've done their study, and they think it's 8%.
I'll give you an example. I was heavily involved after the Moncton shootings, when we lost three members and two members were injured. The year before, we had the R2MR in place, and we followed them afterwards. We used the OSI clinic in Fredericton to partner with and do some research. Based on just that incident, it was at 14%. Your statistics are going to vary, but I truly believe that this program really makes a difference in self-management.
After Moncton, we had seven days to prepare for the funerals. There was a lot of admin being done, but my job was to look after the membership, the trauma, and the crisis. We actually had a university wing that was a drop-in centre for all first responders who were directly or indirectly.... Just because I wasn't part of the shooting, that doesn't necessarily mean I was not affected. We had debriefings. We had psychologists, doctors, and so on. There is a perfect example that I use. This very big, rough and tough officer came in. I said, “What do you need?” He looked at me, and said, “I don't know what I need, but I know I'm not well.” That's what really touches me. The self-management tool of this really helps identify early intervention faster so that they can get the help they need. It's not a miracle cure, and not everybody is going to buy into it. I know that, but what I can say is that it has made a huge impact on a lot of people.
