There is a great @OPDI Peer Supporter position at the Mississauga site @THP_hospital. I worked with a supportive team and great managers there, and at Credit Valley! #rewarding#mentalhealth#PositiveVibes#wellness https://t.co/yAeIsJ739c
I cancelled our patio reservation for Canada Day, and instead made a donation to Na-Me-Res, which has a shelter, transitional housing, and long-term housing for Indigenous Men in Toronto.#supportivehousing#everychildmatters

When I talked with @mdiemanuele a 2-3 years ago, she was very interested in #peersupport @opdi and WRAP @CopelandCenter. @THP_hospital also started a Peer Support program at the start of the Pandemic for clinical staff. I wish her well on her new job as Secretary of the Cabinet!

😢 Norm, was a great #PeerSupporter! I had been at MDAO for a couple of years when he joined, it was awesome to share a phone shift or be in a group with him. He was great to work with, and will be missed by a lot of people! He was a gentleman and a gentle man.

I have training in #peersupport#ASIST#safeTALK#suicide2hope, and have supported a lot of people who do not want to go on living. It's the hardest part of my job! 11 Canadians die every day by suicide, lets strive for #zerosuicide.
Next training: Alternatives to Suicide.
I really hate how suicide prevention month every year is reduced to “check on your friends” and not universal health care, to defund the police, accessible mental health services, and peer support programs. That analysis is so corny.
