Thank you @wepersist_ca for sharing! Lots of important work to be done on decreasing stigma among our elected officials. Thank you for your work sharing conversations on mental health and politics and public life.

[Dale Richardson @DRichSK]

Thoughts:

1. Thank you @abacusdataca and @OksanaKishchuk for even polling this question in the first place. 👍

2. Sad results - it's no wonder many elected members and staff suffer in silence, despite them often saying that "we can end the stigma."

New research from @OksanaKishchuk at @abacusdataca: Canadians see elected officials as the group most likely to face stigma for sharing their #mentalhealth challenges.

We're taking a summer break from podcasting, but we'd love your input on our Summer Survey: https://t.co/Ctl6IbWlCb

We're looking for anonymous feedback from current and former elected officials, political staffers, and others who work or have worked in politics.
