2024 was a year of significant progress on one of the most critical health challenges of our time—brain injuries and their long-term effects. This year Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada, in collaboration with our partners, made significant impacts to the discourse and education on brain injuries, and advanced real changes to policies. Here’s how: • Met with government and appeared at the federal Standing Committee on Health to advance policies and awareness around CTE and brain health. • Made important advancements in brain research, contributing to the understanding and prevention of long-term brain injuries. •Provided essential support to individuals and families like Brendan Hynes and Shane Nedohin affected by brain injuries through our HelpLine and Project Enlist Canada’s Support Line, delivering guidance and hope when it’s needed most. As we look ahead to 2025, we remain committed in our mission of make lasting change. Together, we can build a future where no one faces the challenges of brain injuries alone. Protecting Canadians brain health should be everyone’s concern.

Operation Brain Health – Here to Support Veterans 🧠🪖 Operation Brain Health is dedicated to supporting veterans’ mental and physical well-being through accessible tools, community resources, and preventative strategies for brain health. Veterans may face challenges, including the risks of traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and the potential for long-term effects on mental health. Operation Brain Health is our way of ensuring that veterans have access to support systems and practices to help protect and enhance their cognitive health, empowering them to take charge of their wellness journey. A central pillar of Operation Brain Health is promoting physical activity, which is known to significantly benefit brain health. Regular exercise like walking can improve mood, reduce stress, and support cognitive function. This is where #TeamUpWalk comes in. #TeamUpWalk is a community-driven initiative encouraging veterans to take daily walks as a simple, effective way to maintain their mental and physical health. By joining #TeamUpWalk and the Operation Brain Health Strava Club, veterans can walk together – virtually or in person – knowing they are part of a community that understands their experiences. Every step taken is a reminder that no one is alone on this journey. 🔗 To learn more about Operation Brain Health, visit: https://lnkd.in/gqE6Qerw Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada #ItsNotJustCombat #VeteranMentalHealth #OperationBrainHealth #BrainInjuryAwareness

Being part of a team, part of a broader community, is what made some of the most difficult times some of the best of times. Just because you've retired the uniform doesn't mean you are not still part of a team and a community. You don't need to struggle through the symptoms of brain injury alone, there are other veterans who understand and are there to walk with you on your healing journey. The Operation Brain Health Peer Support Group meets virtually on the second Tuesday and Thursday of every month.
