The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice. Except it doesn’t bend on its own—it bends because we pull it in the direction of justice. What keeps me hopeful during times like these is being surrounded by people who are doing just that.

[Margaret McKinnon, Homewood Chair in Mental Health @MckinnonIn]

@BarackObama Thank you for this lesson, President Obama. It is a poignant reminder that we can’t merely wait for change, but rather must contribute to it.

@bsw5020 Brian, I am so sorry that you have faced the hurt and pain of being attacked and being made fun of. Your journey is courageous. Sadly, it is often those who seek to alter trajectories and affect change who face the most resistance.

[Margaret McKinnon, Homewood Chair in Mental Health @MckinnonIn]

@bsw5020 Thank you so much for your service and sacrifice, Brian. You and your family have made a world of difference in promoting awareness, enacting lasting legislative change, and in ensuring a cure is within reach. We are full of gratitude, now and always.

[Margaret McKinnon, Homewood Chair in Mental Health @MckinnonIn]

@bsw5020 Love is boundless in the joy and security it creates. All the best to you both in your love for one another.

Crisis then, crisis now.

Almost 30 years ago, sport leaders rejected an inquiry into sex abuse in Canadian sport, as it could revictimize people and drive others for cover.

They chose a communal approach to address this “serious issue.”

It failed, and athletes still wait.

Almost 2/3 of Canadians have experienced a traumatic event in their lifetimes.

Margaret McKinnon (@MckinnonIn), professor @MacPsychiatry, joined The Dose to discuss how we can better process trauma.

Meet Margaret McKinnon (@MckinnonIn), professor @MacPsychiatry.

A harrowing, near-death experience set off a sequence of events that helped her establish herself as a foremost leader in what we know about trauma and posttraumatic stress.

@KirstyDuncanMP Thank you for your courage in sharing your story. Happy holidays to you and yours!

[VAdm/Vam Angus Topshee @Comd_RCN]

We are aware of recent reports about our sailors struggling with housing in the Halifax region.
These are concerning & we are actively investigating.
None of our serving members should be homeless.
If you know of a sailor or other CAF member who needs help, my DMs are open.

[Kelsie Snow @kelsieswrites]

Four stockings, three people, countless tears.

Check in with your grieving friends this holiday season. 💔
