🚨New pre-print from the M3E Study, and part of my doctoral thesis!

We tested Making Mindfulness Matter (M3), a community-based mindfulness program for young kids with epilepsy and their families, to see if it could improve their quality of life.

This is an early but encouraging step toward more accessible mental health support for families living with chronic childhood illness

Grateful to the M3-E Research Team at @WesternU @westernuepibio @LHSCCanada @CHRI_London , collaborators at @EpilepsySWO , and our participants

What we found:

1) Epilepsy can take a big toll on children’s well-being.

2) Family support matters.

3) M3, a low-cost program delivered in the community, improved health-related quality of life in our trial.

Ran a large exam today. With the TAs on strike, the university had admin staff serve as proctors instead. They were professional. But they don't know the course material. I spent the exam running a marathon to answer everyone's questions.

Deaths are not the only measure of the burden of disease.

We're in a complicated period where 1. Deaths due to covid (a disease that didn't exist before late 2019) are still according to the most recently available data the #1 cause of death due to an infectious agent in Canada
