Military Veteran Wellness Program (MVWP)

The Military Veteran Wellness Program (MVWP) is a collaborative initiative that enhances support for military Veterans and equips law enforcement with the tools to better assist them.

Developed by the Toronto Police Service in partnership with the Department of National Defence, the Canadian Armed Forces, Veterans Affairs Canada, the Royal Canadian Legion, Operational Stress Injury Social Support, and others, the MVWP launched in 2022 and was officially adopted by the Hamilton Police Service in 2024.

All sworn Hamilton Police Service members receive specialized MVWP training to:

Understand the unique experiences and needs of Veterans
Connect Veterans with social services and mental health resources
Make timely referrals for comprehensive care and support

Our goal is to protect those who protected us by supporting the dignity, well-being, and success of every Veteran in our community.
