This paper traces the emergence of Safeguard programs in Canadian police agencies and explores the research and methods of delivering routine, mandatory mental health check-ups to sworn and civilian personnel in positions with frequent exposure to potentially psychologically traumatic content or situations. A definition for Safeguards is proposed and future directions for police leaders and research are discussed.

Mental health disorder symptom changes among public safety personnel after emotional resilience skills training.
(Elsevier Inc., 2025-02-05) Carleton, R N; Sauer-Zavala, S; Teckchandani, T A; Maguire, K Q; Jamshidi, L; Shields, R E; Afifi, T O; Nisbet, J; Andrews, K L; Stewart, S H; Fletcher, A J; Martin, R; MacPhee, R S; MacDermid, J C; Keane, T M; Brunet, A; McCarron, M; Lix, L M; Jones, N A; Krätzig, G P; Neary, J P; Anderson, G; Ricciardelli, R; Cramm, H; Sareen, J; Asmundson, G J G
Public safety personnel (PSP) are frequently exposed to psychologically traumatic events. The exposures potentiate posttraumatic stress injuries (PTSIs), including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Protocol was designed to mitigate PTSIs using ongoing monitoring and PSP-delivered Emotional Resilience Skills Training (ERST) based on the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders. The current study pilot-tested ERST effectiveness among diverse PSP.

English Monolingualism in Canada: A Critical Analysis of Language Ideologies
(Springer Nature, 2021) Sterzuk, Andrea; Shin, Hyunjung
This chapter examines the construction of English monolingualism as a historical and ongoing
normative educational practice in Canada. Canada presents an interesting case because, at first
glance, it might appear not to fit the English monolingual mold. Since 1969, Canada has been an
officially bilingual country (English and French) with notable levels of multilingualism, in urban
centres. Yet, currently, 56% of Canadians are English monolinguals (Statistics Canada, 2017).
This chapter begins by examining the construction of English monolingualism as a historical
normative educational practice in Canada with a particular focus on the policies and history of
Saskatchewan, one province with particularly high levels of English monolingualism.
Understanding the considerable state efforts towards producing Canada as a monolingual English
country are useful for understanding the present-day monolingual mindsets of many Anglophone
Canadians. Next, we explore how present-day Canadian official bilingualism policy is framed
within ideologies of bilingualism as two parallel monolingualisms (Heller, 2007; Heller &
McElhinny, 2017; Irvine & Gal, 2000). Finally, drawing from contemporary examples in higher
education policy and practices in Saskatchewan, we discuss examples of equitable educational
initiatives to better support plurilingual competence of all language learners through educational
policy, curriculum, and practices.
