[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

We were not created to dream about vacations or the weekend, but to make God’s dreams come true in this world. God made us capable of dreaming, so that we could embrace the beauty of life. The works of mercy are the most beautiful works in life.

Honoured to have my research on moral injury be discussed on Remembrance Day #moralinjury #Mentalhealth #CanadaRemembers #RemembranceDay2020

[UAlberta Rehab Med @UofARehabMed]

As we remember those who fought and continue to fight for peace, let's also salute military and veteran health-care researchers who are working to understand the impact of moral injury and develop interventions that heal. #LestWeForget https://t.co/FzWh4UkMRC @UAlberta @himarc

Congratulations to @himarc and all involved in securing this funding!

[Forces in Mind Trust @FiMTrust]

A study funded by FiMT has found that Complex PTSD is more prevalent among help-seeking veterans than PTSD. 57% reported symptoms consistent with CPTSD, compared to only 14% with PTSD #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek

Coronavirus could cause secondary illnesses including chronic fatigue syndrome, experts warn. New medical papers suggest the contagion can get deep into our vascular system and even our brains. https://t.co/Cgg0t7pyDs #MECFS
