Welcome to Episode 8 of Last Minute GM with Big D.  

On today's episode, Daryl sits down with retired RCMP Sergeant Shayne Courtorielle to discuss their experiences with PTSD and how it impacted them in their personal lives.  Shayne shares some insight into how some of his challenges with PTSD began and what steps he took to overcome those barriers, including how he navigated concerns surrounding the stigma.  This conversation was inspired by and is in support of Bell Let's Talk Day, to raise awareness for mental health injuries that so many of us are dealing with and to end the stigma.  You are not alone.
