About Equipt Care

A Comprehensive, Police Informed Mental Health Program Built for Real World Needs

The Equipt Care Program is the heart of this mental wellness initiative, a clinically led, fully integrated mental health service designed specifically for Canadian police and their families. The first step of comprehensive support is the Equipt Canada App, developed in collaboration with police and a leading-edge tech company in Australia. Providing users with access to mental wellness tools at their fingertips, day or night.

Equipt Care is a direct response to what CPA members have consistently expressed: they need a mental health system that is trusted, confidential, easily accessible, and grounded in the realities of policing. This program delivers exactly that. Through a combination of 24/7 live support, a national network of specialized clinicians, and personalized care coordination, the Equipt Care Program ensures that members never have to navigate their mental health alone.

Our law enforcement partners have shared that they need:

  • Confidential care they can trust

  • Services tailored to police culture

  • Support available anytime, from anywhere

  • A simple, accessible way to get help

Equipt Care delivers all of this through a national, clinically coordinated program built exclusively for the Canadian Police Association.
