A Long Road to Recovery: Battling Operational Stress Injuries - Second Review of the Department of National Defence and Canadian Forces' Action on Operational Stress Injuries

December 2008

This second follow-up report is intended to track the progress made by the Department and the Canadian Forces in implementing the office’s previous recommendations related to post-traumatic stress disorder and other operational stress injuries. In some cases, where the organization did not implement a recommendation exactly as presented, Ombudsman investigators assessed the degree to which National Defence and the Canadian Forces have addressed the intent or spirit of that recommendation.
