Blast Exposure & Brain Injuries: MCPL Shane Nedohin Part III

In this episode we return with Part III of our Blast Exposure & Brain Injuries series with Shane Nedohin, MCPL (ret'd), a former breacher for JTF2 in the Canadian Armed Forces. Shane provides a compelling front-row seat into the intense world of breaching operations and the physical and brain injuries that come with it. We delve into The Globe and Mail article that brought Shane's story to light, highlighting the challenges he faces with blast-induced brain injuries and the denial of medical support from Veterans Affairs Canada. Shane had a triple play that same day as he participation in the event, 'A SILENT THREAT: RECOGNIZING INVISIBLE INJURY' hosted by the CDA Institute, where he discussed the often-overlooked impact of brain injuries on veterans' mental health, and then joined in a press conference held on Parliament Hill where Shane and the team at Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada called for a reassessment of federal policies regarding blast-induced brain injuries. Shane's story caught the attention of the Minister of Veteran Affairs, which led to a dialogue about the support systems for veterans with invisible injuries. Join us for this powerful episode as we explore the unseen battles faced by veterans and the ongoing fight for recognition and support.
