It’s difficult for family and friends to truly understand what probation and parole officers go through on a day-to-day basis, which can be alienating.
Parole and probation officer stress is an accepted part of the profession, largely due to the extensive amount of responsibility these individuals undertake and the long hours and work-related threats many of them face daily. Unfortunately, mental health services for probation officers and parole officers are lacking, and those in the profession may struggle with internal and external stigmas related to seeking mental health treatment.
As such, parole officers have some of the highest PTSD rates among all occupations, and they face significant rates of other mental health disorders, including:
Many treatment programs also fail to address the stigma, both external and internal, that parole officers face when seeking support.
At BrainStim our First Responders Recover Program, focussing on treatment via deep TMS is specifically tailored to the unique mental health needs of parole and probation officers, providing the specialized support and treatment you need and deserve, to live a happy life, enjoy your job and continue serving your community.

Ample responsibilities mean ample stress, with few opportunities to process the daily impact of the job.
A probation or parole officer’s work day is never truly done. They have to be on-call 24/7 in case something unexpected happens with one of their clients. They can never switch off.
Many probation and parole officers work in understaffed offices where they are required to work long shifts and oversee an ever-growing amount of cases.
Officers must keep up with court-imposed deadlines or they risk both the freedom of the people they are responsible for and their own livelihood.
Officers work one-on-one with individuals with severe mental health and substance use disorders but are rarely provided with the resources to cope with constant exposure.
It’s difficult for family and friends to truly understand what probation and parole officers go through on a day-to-day basis, which can be alienating.

Officers are constantly dealing with potentially dangerous people who are not in their custody willingly. They have to be ready for anything to happen at all times.
.
Many dispatchers don’t seek support due to professional stigmas around mental illness and a lack of specialized care.

The Brainsway Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (dTMS) represents a significant advancement in treating depression and anxiety, offering deeper and wider brain stimulation compared to traditional rTMS. Its unique H-Coil design enables more intense magnetic pulses to target deeper neural structures effectively.
dTMS, approved by the FDA, uses magnetic fields to activate neural networks in the brain to improve symptoms of mental health and addiction conditions, including:
TMS uses magnetic pulses to stimulate and re-function your brain. No daily medications or their bothersome long-term side effects.
Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) involves a series of short magnetic pulses directed to the brain to stimulate nerve cells. The magnetic pulses stimulate area neurons and change the functioning of the brain circuits involved.
TMS is an evidence-based treatment that is Health Canada and FDA approved for treatment-resistant depression and other mood disorders.
The majority of our patients see a 50-60% decrease in symptoms and have little to no downtime post-treatment, helping them to continue on with their daily lives.
Sessions are quick and scheduled around your daily life to help ease your anxieties.
