So excited about this news!! Dr. Rizvi has been such an incredible mentor throughout my academic journey, and her trailblazing work in suicide prevention research and advocacy is so meaningful and much-needed. The ASR is in excellent hands 💛
We are excited to announce that Dr. Sakina Rizvi has been appointed as the new Chair of the ASR Suicide & Depression Studies Program. As Chair, Dr. Rizvi will develop and lead research to prevent, diagnose, and treat patients with depression and suicidality. Congratulations! 🎉
Beyond thrilled to share that I will be joining @UChicagoMAPSS in the fall as an Assistant Instructional Professor in Psychology!
Leaving such a supportive & passionate team at @ASRlife_SMH@UnityHealthTO is bittersweet, but excited to continue collaborations from Chicago 💛

# of COVID deaths per year in Canada:
2020: 15,307
2021: 14,606
2022: 19,035
Let's get one thing straight: 2022 wasn't the year that we “learned to live with COVID.” It was the year we were told to ignore COVID while it continued to cause mass suffering, disability, and death.
In theory, we knew repeated COVID reinfections were bad, but a study out today in @Nature of 5.8 million people shows that each reinfection significantly increases the risks of complications, like diabetes and kidney problems, hospitalizations and death.
