Each of us can help create a culture of psychological safety: 1) Admit our own mistakes 2) Run lots of experiments to try out improvements 3) Make space to speak, be curious & say "I don't know" 4) Be patient - psychological safety takes time/effort/persistence. By @tom_geraghty

We stand in solidarity with Ukrainians as they defend themselves against aggression. We are distressed and disheartened by the atrocities being committed in Ukraine and around the world by authoritarian regimes. (1/2)

Canadians can donate to our #Ukraine Humanitarian Crisis Appeal to help those affected by ongoing conflict: https://t.co/p1hdEquhA1

Donations will enable Red Cross to respond to humanitarian needs resulting from almost 8 years of conflict and recent intensification of violence.

“His work wasn’t done. He wasn’t done. He wasn’t satisfied. He wasn’t finished. I think many of us, colleagues & friends, feel the work has to go on. Paul is irreplaceable — there is no other Paul. Did we capture enough of him? Did we take enough notes?” https://t.co/78IxDWED9k

Checking in with caregivers is critical when visiting clients in the community. OTs can provide them with coping strategies and resources so that they can keep well and continuing caring for their loved one @OSOTvoice #OT365

[Canadian Centre for Caregiving Excellence @CdnCaregiving]

On Family Day we are thinking of the vital care that caregivers provide. New research from @UAlberta: 8 million unpaid family caregivers contribute $97.1 billion to the Canadian Care Economy, representing 32.2% of national spending on health care. https://t.co/5xNCMat6Gp.

Thank you @LOFTCS for the amazing work you all do! #community #compassion

[LOFT Community Services @LOFTCS]

Many people living with severe mental illnesses and addiction often find themselves without someone to rely on. This #FamilyDay, we’re grateful to LOFT’s #OneTeam for becoming many of clients’ main source of support and extended family.

Social justice is only possible when all barriers people face based on gender, race, ethnicity, religion, culture or disability are removed.
