Who we are

Nurses

Nurses in CSC provide a wide range of services to the offender population. Our nurses are involved in diverse activities including: the ongoing assessment and treatment of health conditions, educating offenders on infectious diseases and healthy lifestyles, and addressing the mental health needs of offenders.

Psychologists

CSC is the largest employer of psychologists in Canada. Our psychologists provide treatment and assess offender risk, and are world-renowned for their work in developing risk assessment tools, and contributing to corrections research. The complex mental health needs of offenders present fascinating challenges for psychologists. Psychologists change lives by helping offenders change their behaviours and adopt more positive lifestyles.

Pharmacists

CSC pharmacists play a key role in the provision of offender health services. They ensure that offender medication is appropriate and has minimal risk in terms of side effects or toxicity. This has become increasingly challenging due to the multifaceted health issues offenders face, which usually involve multi-drug regimens.

Social Workers

Social workers provide support and intervention to assist offenders with functional and cognitive impairments as a result of mental disorders, developmental disabilities, and brain injuries. Social workers develop and maintain relationships with offenders’ families, outside organizations, and agencies to prepare and provide support for offenders on release.
