A Winnipeg psychologist who has worked in the field for 25 years will appear at a conduct hearing for the Psychological Association of Manitoba next week, claiming that she and many of her patients believe the scrutiny is related to the RCMP and military patients she has diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder ( PTSD ) and is scheduled to attend. Dr. Solange Lavack has treated an estimated 60 Police soldiers, all of whom, she says, meet the criteria for the illness from distressing work activities. However, she claims that she has been subjected to downgrades in many of her evaluations and that she has been battling the federal authorities bureaucracy to get people back to their high-stress, high-risk jobs. ” I didn’t talk about the information at this time, but what I can say is that there have been efforts from some people, from health service, to speak with a lot of organizations in order to discredit me,” Lavack says. She complained about bullying, privacy, and billing to the Civil Complaints and Review Commission in 2017. Some of her concerns were acknowledged by the complaints fee. ” I really feel that I’m being dealt with continuing retribution because I’m the whistleblower,” Lavack says.” But worse than that, you have RCMP members and veterinarians who have been caught in the crossfire.” The federal government de-listed her as a supplier, meaning defense, RCMP or other governmental people who use her companies have to pay out of pocket. She had been a member of the companies ‘ list for a long time, but issues just started when she began to speak out against bullies who were trying to force her to write things their way, according to former military doctor Ron Martin, a person for many years. There aren’t enough now serving people of the RCMP and military to keep doing what they do.

Because “it keeps them on the payment as a serving part,” Martin says, some care companies are under pressure to diagnose a personality problem rather than PTSD. Trending Then

Without Lavack’s attention, he and three other people have told Global News that they are unsure of their futures. Graham Rowe, who served three tours with the Canadian Armed Forces and was diagnosed with PTSD, says,” She’s all about the client, all about giving us the best support she is. ” We’ve all seen things that we shouldn’t, and shouldn’t be going back into ( those situations ) again”, he says. The Psychological Association of Manitoba declined meeting demands until after the do reading, which starts Monday and may take until the end of the month, and said,” When they get misdiagnosed, that’s when you get all the deaths, the having, and drugs.” The RCMP stated in a statement that” the health and safety of employees is a top priority and essential to public safety” and that they have “zero tolerance for the outdated notion that mental health injuries are not real.” 1: 56
