215 Indigenous children found dead.

215 reasons to learn about residential schools.
215 reasons to reflect on Canada's blood stained colonial past.
215 reasons to face this country's role in genocide.

An infinite number of reasons why an entire country should be grieving.

@MsMckelvie Hi Ms. McKelvie!

I can’t seem to be able to DM you, but I am trying to reach out to as many schools and school boards to try & promote this program to help get kids back into schools safely & asap!

@GZitikyte @kinsa @inderstweet 🤣🤣🤣 Not only useful for kids! We love the versatility

[Kristen Marion @KristenJenelle]

@BehindTheNumbrs @mch_childrens @kinsa I love @kinsa ! So glad you spoke to them. can't wait to listen!

[BehindTheNumbers @BehindTheNumbrs]

@KristenJenelle @mch_childrens @kinsa What an incredible program, right!? We can’t wait for you to listen too 🙏

[BehindTheNumbers @BehindTheNumbrs]

“@mch_childrens says it has seen a steady increase of youth in crisis since #COVID19 began. [Likely due to] combination of factors, such as isolation, limited or no school...”

This #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek we shed light on the importance of re-opening SCHOOLS

@OttawaICURN @OttawaHealth Thank you for everything that you are doing to help 🧡

[BehindTheNumbers @BehindTheNumbrs]

To get your school participating in the program that is sponsored by @Lysol, just head to https://t.co/dqRVrKtXaD and apply!!

[BehindTheNumbers @BehindTheNumbrs]

The benefits are also huge at the individual level:

✨Thermometer syncs to an app, compiling temp readings w symptoms you enter

✨ You are prompted w either an A-OK, at-home-care for your child’s illness, connected w a doc through the app, or prompted to bring child to hospital

[BehindTheNumbers @BehindTheNumbrs]

The more people that partake in the program, the more aggregate data can be compiled into real-time maps of illness. Already tried-and-true in the United States, and currently expanding into Canada.

✨ 100% PRIVACY PROTECTED ✨

[Inder Singh @inderstweet]

20% of all adult fevers aggregated by @kinsa over the past month are due to someone recently being vaccinated -- it's oddly gratifying to watch these vaccine fevers pop up across the U.S. ! #COVID19 #vaccines

[BehindTheNumbers @BehindTheNumbrs]

You don’t have to wait for the program to be implemented in your school to benefit from @kinsa’s FLUency program!

Use code NUMBERS15 to get 15% off your Smart Thermometer 🤒 & take the guess work out of caring for your child’s health!!

It starts from the ground up. Getting kids back in schools promotes the health of the entire community 🏘

Our latest episode dives into a tried-and-true program that will help us do this ✨ safely ✨
