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. Listen Dallaire discuss mental health talk on Global News Radio:

A Picture & Mental Health
It only takes a moment for a life to drastically change direction far beyond imagination. In one of history’s most iconic photos, Kim Phuc was photographed at age 9 running down the road naked, screaming from the burns to her skin after a South Vietnamese napalm attack. It became the image that symbolized the failures of the Vietnamese War.
After experiencing unimaginable horrors, Kim faced a myriad of emotions: bitterness, anger, sorrow, and love. She was a victim on two levels, the physical and a much more painful level: the emotional. Grappling with a myriad of emotions in the years following, her experience around mental health was one like no other.
In her ‘Overcoming Adversity with Inner Strength‘ presentation, Kim shares the step-by-step process on how she learned to forgive. How the inner strength she had helped transform her destiny from darkness to light.
