Mental health care remains a priority: RCMP

Jessica R. Durling REPORTER
TISDALE — Mental healthcare remains a priority for the Tisdale detachment of the RCMP. From Dec. 21 to Jan. 22 the Tisdale RCMP responded to three mental health files. Each file means it is someone who is in immediate risk of harming themselves. “It’s usually self-harming comments,” said Cpl. Mike Benjamin with the
Tisdale RCMP. “Even for myself going about my regular duties, I will have people coming up saying they’re stressed out, they’re not feeling good, they wish that they could make the bad feelings go away. We need to follow up on that right away, not just go, ‘it’s okay, suck it up’.” According to Benjamin, this is average for the town. “Mental health continues to be a serious issue in the region,” Benjamin said. “With our mental health
files, that’s usually someone making suicidal comments which requires us to go talk to them, assess the situation. If we determine that we have enough grounds, we then take them to the hospital to see a doctor who then makes a further assessment, a medical assessment of the situation then recommends other treatment, further appointments or in more serious cases being taken into Prince Albert.” SEE WELL-BEING PAGE 2
