From ECPAT’s review of the global research, we know that boys who subjected to sexual exploitation also tend to experience homelessness, substance issues and mental health concerns.

April is national #ChildAbusePreventionMonth in the US. In solidarity with survivors of child abuse, it is important to educate ourselves on ongoing initiatives to prevent #childabuse in boys and girls.

"A policy of separating children from parents at the U.S. border is traumatic and is emotional abuse of the child." State immigration #policy CAN NOT come at the expense of #childrenshealth. Read more: https://t.co/hiHW9tHmVG @DrWekerle

A recent study suggests that using social media (SoMe) to post about #resilience research increases #youth engagement. SoMe can be a useful tool for researchers to engage with different audiences. #openaccess #mentalhealth @DrWekerle @katherinekim__ https://t.co/urwvg0vnJ6

It’s Pink Shirt Day! Are you wearing a Pink Shirt to support anti-bullying? 1 in 5 students are affected by bullying, it’s likely it has happened to someone you know and care about. Show compassion, kindness, and empathy, and speak out! #LiftEachOtherUp #PinkShirtDay @DrWekerle

@OpenAccessGov released their #COVID19 issue. See @DrWekerle's article on pg 92, on pathways to #youth #resilience: https://t.co/zAD0TGMkv0. #Learn more about #trauma, alcohol problems & coping methods of child welfare-involved youth, & how we can foster resilience. #openaccess

#MensMentalHealth is a real issue and we should aim to understand how males can express their illness in terms of masculinity and stigma. See how social pressures and stereotypes impact men’s willingness to address their mental illness at: https://t.co/TvE3HtyXWq @DrWekerle (2/2)

[Marria Khalid @marriakhalid_]

In recognition of #InternationalMensDay, men face #stigma when discussing struggles with their #mentalhealth. There is a culture of “manning up” instead of pursuing support for mental illness which limits men’s help-seeking behaviours. @DrWekerle (1/2)

[Marria Khalid @marriakhalid_]

Male suicide is a global issue and men face challenges while seeking support. There is a need to destigmatize men's mental illness and help-seeking and promote men's suicide prevention programs. Read more at: https://t.co/Jxq7hl1MEB #mensmentalhealth @DrWekerle @katherinekim__

Young men who have sex with men with gender nonconformity are at an increased risk for CSA. Acceptance & support for these men are vital to building positive self-esteem, protecting against depression and suicidality. #menshealth @DrWekerle @katherinekim__ https://t.co/XRRScGTmml

Residential childcare workers are critical in #childdevelopment, but also suffer increased traumatization. The #wellbeing and #resilience of providers must be considered in order to improve outcomes for #children in their care. @DrWekerle Read more: https://t.co/wClzluLvcs
