Invisible Wounds of Mental Health
For many, mental health is a reality of their life and profession. From members of the military to first respondents, to public service members, journalists and more. Sadly, many lives have been lost due to suicide. How can we develop better peer support systems to prevent these tragedies?
Bearing witness to the horrors of genocide, and an international community’s disregard for humanity, General Dallaire was grievously injured with post-traumatic stress disorder, resulting in his medical release from the military in 2000. Since then, he has tirelessly worked to raise awareness about mental health issues and PTSD.
In his ‘Mental Health & Invisible Wounds‘ presentation, Dallaire makes clear how the challenges around mental illness affect us all. As mental health wounds are not always visible, Dallaire speaks passionately about how much more needs to be done so that those suffering in silence can not just survive, but thrive.
