ICYMI U of Ottawa prof Sachin Maharaj says attempts to address negative impacts of phone or social media use among youth should be collective, rather than individual: Listen to the full interview: vancouverislandmentalhealthsociety.org/podcast/talkin… @VIMentalHealth

ICYMI When Nisha Patel read through her medical records, the curt nature of them sparked an anger at the system that sparked poetry. Listen to the full interview: vancouverislandmentalhealthsociety.org/podcast/turnin… @VIMentalHealth
"I’m not a social psychologist, nor a parent of a TikTok-obsessed tween.... But in my view, the case for believing that smartphones are undermining teens’ #mentalhealth is significantly weaker than [suggested] — yet stronger than [most] skeptics allow." vox.com/24127431/smart…
"Childhood #anxiety disorders impact 1 in 8 kids, making this a condition many families grapple with. But...anxiety disorders in kids aren’t discussed a lot, leaving...parents feeling unprepared and even helpless when it comes to raising an anxious child." fortune.com/well/article/p…
"Disparity around...accessibility of medicines for #mentalillness exists today in Canada...[it] underscores a critical gap in our current health-care model [&] highlights the need for an improved #mentalhealth approach in all pan-Canadian initiatives" thespec.com/opinion/contri…
"This is what I think is wrong with the medical model: a failure to understand #mentalhealth in context. An assumption that a disorder is a “thing” that an individual has, that can be measured, independent of subjective experience." theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
"We want to know what's stopping you, why can you not reach out? Is it the #stigma... is it just that you don't know that we're here? ...it's such a shame that these boys and young men are still suffering in silence." #mentalhealth #UK @TICplus_ bbc.com/news/uk-englan…
"The [Decider Life Skills] program...[is] being rolled out in all school[s]...by nurses from the Windsor-Essex County Health Unit. The health unit hopes the program will teach kids to identify, monitor and regulate their emotions." #Ontario #mentalhealth cbc.ca/news/canada/wi…
“When men start doing well in their life, they have this funny thing of hiding it & forcing themselves out of getting any appreciation for it. I don’t know if it’s an imposter syndrome or insecurity... We decided maybe this is a good point to talk about..” cabinradio.ca/178992/news/he…
"The Clothesline Project & Prevention of Violence Against Women Week is an opportunity ...to take a stand against violence against women. ...Women are more likely than men to experience severe & frequent violence from a spouse or someone they are dating." campbellrivermirror.com/community/clot…
@TorontoStar and @KenyonWallace, @Tara_Gomes thanks for this. May we suggest a correction in article bi-line? From our understanding the study does not suggest that "user ignorance" as a risk factor, neither did the co-author use those words.
"one in four of all deaths in people ages 20-39 were related to opioids. That increases to one in three deaths for people in their 30s." Finds @Tara_Gomes et al. We know as this is the pain we bear. People need of access to regulated alternatives. thestar.com/news/canada/op…

"At workplaces worldwide, managers and leaders have more power over our #mentalhealth than they ever thought possible—even more than our own doctors and psychotherapists and about the same as our spouses or partners." forbes.com/sites/bryanrob…
“The reality is, people are dying in their homes,” said organizer Trevor Tablotney. “My brother went to work, he went home, he did drugs, he was playing Fortnite at the time, and he passed away.” #stigma #DrivetoDestigmatize #Richmond bc.ctvnews.ca/car-rally-aims…
"It’s been 8 years since the toxic drug #publichealth emergency was declared in #BC & a local #harmreduction expert says we need stronger policies to address it. #Vancouver-based [@guyfelicella] says the drug crisis is heartbreaking & worsening..." vancouver.citynews.ca/2024/04/14/bc-…
