“We are bound personally to unjust social structures regardless of our social positions and whether we like it or not or chose to be or not.” We need moral imagination, moral courage, and bold maneuvers to address structural injustices - Gayle Restall #MurielDriver at #CAOT2024
I have had the pleasure of having Dr. Gayle Restall, #MurielDriver presenter at #CAOT2024, as one of my earliest mentors in my #OccupationalTherapy and research journey. #SocialJustice resonated with me from the beginning. This award is so well deserved!
So much #FoodForThought in the Meeting the Mental Health Needs of Canadians session at #CAOT2024! Thanks to all the presenters and the small group discussion groups! @cannemarshall @skye_barbic@MichelleFergy@msbizzeth Kim Hewitt-McVicker, Fizza Jafry, and Debra Beach Ducharme

What happens when you give 50 homeless people $7,500 each? They spend it on rent, clothing and food (not alcohol, drugs and smokes), a stereotype-shattering B.C. study shows, by @Brie_Charlebois https://t.co/MSnIhUMuyb via @globeandmail@jiayingzhao
