EDMONTON - A new clinic in Edmonton is being set up for military and RCMP members to help treat post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression or addiction.
Federal Veterans Affairs Minister Greg Thompson says the clinic will cost about $1.2 million to establish and will have an annual operating budget of just over $2 million.
It is being funded by the federal government and the local Capital Health region.
It will have the capacity to treat between 100 and 150 patients a year.
The clinic will provide specialized mental health services to veterans, Canadian Forces members and eligible RCMP members - and their families.
It is one of a number of clinics that have been set up across the country since 2006.
