I haven't been on twitter, busy reading & working on the next book! I read this novel last week & it's a beautiful story! It examines themes like mental health, family & chosen family, abandoned places, small towns & is set in Niagara (where I'm from). https://t.co/u7eahGxZOG

new review “brave and often searing…graphically depicts not only the disintegration of the fabric that holds her world together but also the failings of the mental health system that she is thrown into. An often brilliant dissection of a very contemporary problem.” #amreading

Feb 2nd is my birthday. I’m 28 years old. And I probably wouldn’t be here without the help of my friends. <3 #whathelp #mentalhealth

I almost didn’t make it to my birthday, this year almost took me. Time to go celebrate with my friends who tried to keep my alive when the system couldn’t care less. Happy birthday to me. #whathelp #MentalHealthAdvocate

From a community member, "I almost got fired from my job in the mental health field because I'm too mentally ill" #BellLetsTalk #whathelp

Burning out, because begging to be heard, begging to get my name on full wait-lists is utterly heartbreaking. #whathelp #BellLetsTalk

Scaring my loved ones as they watch me struggle to survive & get help that simply isn’t there. #whathelp #mentalhealth

Actually asking for help means I’m not bad enough to get it. #whathelp

Being told when I was 17 that I was at risk of developing a serious mental illness, but there were no resources, and here I am, 10 years later, as that illness takes over my life. #whathelp

OD prevention is more than learning how to admin naloxone. Many OD alone bc they're tryna keep their drug use a secret. #OverdoseAware2017
