In a powerful conversation with Shane Hewitt & the Nightshift, Scott Maxwell, CEO of Wounded Warriors Canada, and firefighting student Laura Kennedy Morel explore how proactive mental health support is reshaping the future for trauma-exposed professionals. Scott advocates for early intervention and community-driven awareness, while Laura shares how her generation is embracing mental health education and organizing grassroots fundraisers to support their peers. Together, they highlight a cultural shift from "suck it up" to "speak up"—and why it could save lives.
