Mandate

The focus of Health Promotion Services is to provide awareness, education and health promotion activites.  While we do not provide intervention and treatment services directly, we can help to connect you with a variety of CF and civilian services that can be assistance. 

Our goal is to deliver programs and services that empower CF regular and reserve force members, their families, and the DND/CF Defence team to take control of their health and well-beingso that they can fulfill the CF operational mandate while enjoying the highest practical standards of health and quality of life.

While priority is given to CF members (regular and reserve force), CF family members and DND/NPF civilian employees are welcome to participate where space and resources permit.

All programs, services and related materials are free of charge.
