I GOT MIND PARTNER WITH WOUNDED WARRIORS CANADA
Wounded Warriors Canada is proud to announce a new partnership with I Got Mind, grounded in a shared commitment to supporting individuals and communities impacted by trauma. The two organizations will work together to amplify awareness, education and resources that foster resilience, understanding and recovery.
“There is natural alignment between our organizations in recognition of the impacts of traumatic event exposure – regardless of profession,” says Scott Maxwell, Chief Executive Officer, Wounded Warriors Canada. “This partnership allows us to complement one another’s strengths while remaining focused on those we serve. By working together, we are extending the reach of our collective efforts and reinforcing the message that no one should have to navigate the impact and effects of trauma alone.”
I Got Mind is a community-driven initiative focused on breaking down stigma and creating space for open conversations around mental health and trauma across all walks of life.
Bob Wilke, President, I Got Mind, echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of collaboration in creating meaningful change. “Partnering with Wounded Warriors Canada allows us to deepen our impact and continue building conversations that normalize mental health challenges and encourage people to seek support.”
Through this collaboration, Wounded Warriors Canada and I Got Mind will explore joint initiatives, shared storytelling and educational opportunities aimed at reducing stigma, increasing awareness, and promoting trauma-informed approaches within communities across Canada.
To officially kick-off the partnership, Wounded Warriors Canada President, Scott Maxwell will be part of a discussion panel during an event in Calgary on February 23 where they will be airing the documentary Sideways – the story of the 1986 Swift Current Broncos bus crash where Wilkie lost four of his teammates. The local Wound Warriors Canada community will be invited to attend.
