This Episode Features:

Dr. Rob Lees, Registered Psychologist, joins A Resilience Project to shed light on the unique challenges many veterans face both during military service and after returning home from their tour of duty. Drawing on his clinical expertise, Dr. Lees explores what it means to find genuine meaning and purpose in life — and why doing so is central to our wellbeing and happiness.

Dr. Lees also offers an inspiring look at the creative programs he has helped develop through a partnership between the school district and Child & Youth Mental Health in Chilliwack, B.C. These initiatives are designed to foster mentorship and leadership among young people, recognizing that when we help others, the psychological benefits — including positive changes in brain chemistry — become powerful protective factors in building resilience.

Covering a lot of ground, Dr. Lees sheds light on the many opportunities we all have for cultivating connection — within our communities, our relationships, and ourselves.
