"We need a safe spot for first responders to recover and get treatment. Maybe if we had one, I'd have those years back, maybe not."

Wondering if anyone else who has struggled with severe anxiety finds ads for heart monitoring apps and devices stress-inducing. I used to constantly monitor my heart rate (manually). Took me years to tons of effort to stop. Every ad takes me back.

I just ventured out of my house for a few errands and I have to say that for a Tues before Xmas during a pandemic surge and right before yet another likely lockdown, it’s truly hell out there. For those of you choosing your duvet and Netflix over public interactions, good plan.

“This tells us there are things that we can do,” Dr. McIntyre said. “We don’t need to accept suicide rates, we need to rethink how we’re approaching this from a policy perspective.” https://t.co/gqTQRLaucN

This is true from our experience. It is impossible to avoid every possible trigger for everyone.

[Javeed Sukhera MD PhD @javeedsukhera]

Safe spaces do not exist

If a space feels safe for some of us, it is not safe for others.

We can work towards safety

We can co-create BRAVE spaces

But we need to stop pretending like we can put up a safe space sign and ignore how some spaces continue to harm and traumatize

The Ontario science table has important modeling work that projects a grim fall. I don't understand why they're not releasing that. It's important for people to understand what lies ahead, and what the stakes are.

Why are mental health and physical health treated differently? Letter to the editor of the Globe and Mail.

Hot off the presses!! In my latest article I reflect, heavily, on what George Floyd’s death has meant for me (and the world?), as well as the triumph and also the sadness of the world finally seeing Black folks for who we are and what we endure. 👇🏿

Our phenomenal President, @HRisInnovative! She never ceases to amaze us!

What a great day for the @jackdotorg #JackRide. Sun, great trails, & funds raised for youth mental health in support of the https://t.co/mhORav1sOI programs.
Shout out to all my fellow riders, wherever you rode today. My goal: to keep doing an activity everyday until next Sat.

[Alvin Fiddler @gcfiddler]

We will honour the little ones.

A Sacred Fire will be lit at the site of the former St Joseph IRS in Thunder Bay to honour the spirits of the children and support the grieving and healing of the families, communities and Survivors.

They found 215 bodies of Indigenous children and the response is like, “sorry, we’ll lower our flags for awhile and have a memorial” while you got whole Indigenous communities today living without clean water and having their lands annexed for pipelines. Disingenuous.

[CMHO @kidsmentalhlth]

Our position is consistent. Schools are essential for kids. #KidsCantWait

If you have been following the story about the closing of Youth Justice Centres in Ontario, you need to read this.

[QP Briefing @QPBriefing]

Advocates say a technical error made by civil servants in a cost-saving exercise led the province to shut down the only mental health program dedicated to the most at-risk youth in the justice system.
