Project Enlist seeks to end the concussion crisis among veterans and serving Canadian Armed Forces members.

The goal of Project Enlist is to dramatically accelerate critical research on traumatic brain injury (TBI), chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in military veterans through brain donation. Research into the physical impacts of military service upon the brain will allow us to understand the links between head impacts and traumatic brain injury (TBI), ch

ronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). That understanding will lead to better awareness, triage, reporting, diagnosis and treatment of brain injuries as they occur. Project Enlist also supports veterans experiencing complications from head injury through outreach focussed on awareness and assistance in locating treatment providers who recognize the significance of concussive exposure and its impacts upon wellbeing.

So far we have heard MWO Erica Oliver’s story when it comes to the discussions around concussions in service, the effects of repetitive head impacts and the support needed to care for Veterans once they have retired.

Now it’s time to hear from Capt. Alin Mirea, retired combat diver with the Royal Canadian Engineers. Having served a 26-year career in the Canadian Armed Forces, Capt. Mirea understands the need for proper training without injury. This includes injury from TBI.

Operational settings carry an inherent risk of exposure to head impacts, there’s no question about that. What’s important is limiting the possibility of exposure during training exercises, and ensuring that proper recovery protocols are followed if a head impact does take place. By limiting these sources during training, it ensures the brain is ready for the next task.

Caregiver support is often left out of the bigger conversation around concussion treatment and recovery. Behind every person recovering from a concussion, or the effects of cumulative TBI, is someone booking appointments, symptom checking, and supporting setbacks.

Project Enlist and our Support Line connect Caregivers and family members with the resources to make sure help is there when it’s needed.

Our Military Guidebook offers practical advice on being a Caregiver and an advocate for a loved one facing the consequences of concussions.

Follow the link in our bio for free access to the full Military Guidebook.

Or if you have questions about this topic, reach out through our Support Line and we’ll point you in the right direction.

Erica’s words ring true to many Veterans: one of the hardest parts of recovery is the waiting and feeling that you are alone. This is where support networks play a crucial role.

Our Support Line through Operation Brain Health is here to support current and former serving members and their families.

We have partnered with various providers and professionals across Canada to provide personalized assistance in dealing with the effects of brain injury, choosing the right doctor, managing lingering concussion symptoms or navigating related concerns.

If you would like to know more about information about the Support Line, or want to reach out and get connected, follow the LinkTree link in our bio which will take you to the OBH Support Line landing page.

If you are experiencing a crisis, dial or text 988 or the VAC Assistance Service hotline (1-800-268-7708).

07/16/2026

Did you know that in 2025, VAC updated the criteria on TBI claims, allowing for previously denied claims to be reconsidered? Project Enlist offers free services to assist with this claim.

Our parents organization Concussion Legacy Foundation🇨🇦 (Concussion Legacy Foundation Canada) received funding from VAC to help Veterans find the services they need. We are proud to use this funding to help put Veterans on the right path.

No one should be charging you for this service, regardless of who you are looking to get help from.

There are various resources and organizations available, Project Enlist is here to help you navigate this.

No Veteran should not feel alone with what they are experiencing.

Project Enlist has free resources available for Veterans and family members/caregivers to help you navigate the path forward.

We have educational resources such as our Military Guidebook, designed to provide Veterans, Servicepeople, patients and caregivers with relevant information about traumatic brain injuries and living with symptoms afterwards.

Or our Support Line, which is here to provide you with the tools to move forward with your VAC claim and connect you with professionals available to help.

See the link in our bio to visit our webpage and find more details about our free resources and to stay updated about new resources we will be providing in the future.

Unfortunately, Erica’s story is not unique.

We’ve heard from countless Veterans: “My VAC claim was denied.”

This can be an incredibly defeating moment. What you’re experiencing is real, but the denial makes it feel like it’s not.

Our Support Line is here to assist you in getting your claim through and changing that “denied” to “approved”.
