This is a great companion to the Leading and Learning with Pride toolkit - and what a nice way to bring the voices behind the toolkit alive! ⬇️⬇️

Ontario’s 5 largest healthcare unions believe the Ford government is intentionally manufacturing a healthcare crisis to justify privatization, which they say is already happening as more surgeries & diagnostic procedures are moved from hospitals to for-profit health facilities.

I instruct an upper-year undergraduate course on Healthy Aging at @queensu - for one of the assignments, students were asked to create an infographic discussing a common myth about aging. I have permission to share some of the infographics with you... 1/7

#Opinion: Whether it’s a spouse, parent or grandparent, chances are you know someone who has lived in a long-term-care home in this country. And with Canada’s increasingly aging population, if you haven’t, then rest assured — you will.

When we talk about older adulthood, we tend to focus on programs and policy to meet needs.

This diminishes and marginalizes elderhood.

It is crucial that the health care system responds to the current and future mental health impacts of the pandemic by working towards an integrated service system that promotes wellbeing, incorporates prevention, and delivers high-quality care. We can help https://t.co/4r8YFWQof6

[Mental Health Commission of Canada @MHCC_]

Mental health services for the elderly can be difficult to access or unavailable. Our Guidelines support the development of a comprehensive, integrated mental health service system to prioritize the mental health of older adults. https://t.co/ohudcdeOwH #CPSW2022
