"A child's mental health is as important as their physical health & deserves the same quality of support. No one would feel embarrassed about seeking help if they broke their arm, & we should be equally ready to support a child coping w/ emotional difficulties." ~Kate Middleton

The way to honour Tina Fontaine is for all of us to make sure the @MB_Advocate report recommendations become reality. Show that you care and contact your elected officials to demand full and immediate implementation. Children need help now. https://t.co/PN4S3zJ9pb

Thankful to get to speak to all the great kids who attended the Headstrong Youth Summit in #HighPrairie, which was focused on reducing the stigma around mental health. I fully endorse any efforts to do that. There was great drumming and music too! #ableg #abpoli #youthmatter

[Maggiemay @MaggieMayFASD]

Having FASD means I fail at things that other people my age wouldn’t even need to fail at as they would be able to do it without thinking, I’ve slowly come to realise failing isn’t a negative thing just means I’m still finding quirky ways to adapt to the challenges that come.

[Cindy Blackstock @cblackst]

OK the legislation is on the order paper now we wait until it is tabled to see what it says. Hopefully good news for kids. First Nations, Metis and Inuit children deserve the best.
