CANADA -- Badge of Life Canada's goal is to assist law enforcement officers in Canada to maintain the highest
possible quality of life in their careers. Our goal is to provide free assistance and materials from which officers can be
trained to deal effectively with stress and emotional trauma long before reaching a crisis level.
According to the Badge of Life, Canada, Directors, "We in Canada share with Americans
the price we pay in our daily devotion to the shield and the public we serve. We are the compassion, the strength,
the standard bearers for what is right and proper, yet we so often suffer not only the physical wounds, but the emotional
wounds that follow us long after the physical scars have healed."
