Firefighter opens up about his journey with PTSD and stigma for first responders

In partnership with the Canadian Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Your Morning is taking a closer look at how mental health research is saving lives. In our final installment today, we spoke with firefighter Rob Leathen. Rob has nearly three decades of experience, and was diagnosed with PTSD later in his career - and is now getting the help he needs. Rob opened up about his symptoms, the stigma around PTSD, and what treatment he's undergoing now to help.
