Mental Health

Good mental health is the sense of well-being we have when all aspects of our lives are in balance - physical, mental, social, economic and spiritual.

The mental health of all our clients is of concern at Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC). That is why VAC and the Department of National Defence (DND) are responding to ensure that the needs of CF members and Veterans living with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and other Operational Stress Injuries (OSIs) are met.

This section of the VAC Web site is dedicated to providing information on mental health issues for our clients, their families and care givers. We have also provided links to other VAC sites related to mental health such as The Wellness Kit and the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and War Related Stress booklet developed in the Health Promotion Directorate.
