As the Program Manager, Organizational Mental Health, you will play a key role in strengthening the Calgary Police Service (CPS)'s proactive mental health and resilience efforts by developing, delivering, and evaluating organizational-level, evidence-informed prevention initiatives within the Wellness and Resiliency Division (MHSD). This is a non-clinical applied psychology role focused on translating psychological research, organizational learnings, and trauma-informed principles into practical strategies, tools, and education that support upstream mental health and organizational wellbeing.
You will work collaboratively with the Psychological Therapies Section (PTS), Organizational Wellness Unit (OWU), the Training Section, and other CPS partners to ensure prevention programming is coordinated, consistent, trauma-informed, and responsive to the needs of a diverse, trauma-exposed workforce. Reporting to the Clinical Director, you will also provide psychologically informed guidance regarding prevention programming delivered by OWU and contribute to evaluation, measurement, and governance reporting that informs CPS's broader psychological health strategy. Primary duties include:
-
Lead the design, delivery, and ongoing improvement of service wide mental health, resilience, and prevention initiatives by translating research and organizational insights into practical, trauma-informed strategies.
-
Build collaborative relationships across PTS, MHSD, OWU, and the Training Section to ensure prevention initiatives are standardized, relevant, and aligned with organizational needs and priorities.
-
Provide evidence-informed, trauma-aware non-clinical consultation to leaders and supervisors to build psychological health literacy, support early intervention, and strengthen organizational resilience practices.
-
Develop and implement evaluation methods to measure the effectiveness, reach, and impact of prevention programming; interpret findings and prepare clear summaries for leadership and governance reporting.
-
Provide clinically informed oversight and guidance for OWU prevention activities when clinical standards, ethical considerations, or psychological-risk questions arise, ensuring safe, trauma-informed, and ethically sound practice.
-
Establish meaningful, measurable outcomes for prevention programming and ensure alignment with Training Section and cross-divisional partners to support consistency and continuous improvement across CPS.
