The much talked about youth mental health crisis post COVID looks much less dramatic in longitudinal data: a small increase, limited to low-risk females. There was no change in depression among youth at high risk or in males. @ProjectFORBOW@CambUP_Psychdoi.org/10.1017/S00332…
Two parents are grieving the loss of their daughter, who froze to death on the streets of Dartmouth, N.S. They blame Nova Scotia’s mental health system.
“We lost our daughter to, actually, a terrible health system.”

My therapist just said 'kids are very resilient' and I said 'why do all adults need therapy then?' And she just looked into the middle distance for a bit + seemed to reassess quite a lot of things
Pursuing an academic career when you come from no family wealth = living w major delays in life milestones & chronic stress from financial instability (for self & family) for nearly a decade. Structural barriers exist at every step of the process. 1/3 @AcademicChatter@PhDVoice
Wanna radically improve #mentalhealth? Give people housing. End poverty. Promote food security. Be anti-racist. Fund harm reduction. Offer workers paid sick days. Provide equitable healthcare (especially mental healthcare) to all...Equity IS mental health. 🙏🏽

I don’t know who needs to hear this but housing is healthcare. Housing is dignity. Housing is mental health. Housing is good economic policy.
And on this #NationalHousingDay and every day…let’s never forget that access to safe affordable housing is a human right. 🙏🏽

Joy does not mean that you fully disconnect from other vital emotions, such as being reflective or feeling sad. It means that joy is your home, and other emotions are places to visit. After visiting, come back to your home to calm your anxieties!

Note to #NS and #Halifax - There is a video circulating that claims a 13-year-old girl's heart stopped due to a COVID-19 vaccination. We have checked on the validity of this claim, and are told there have been no reports to Public Health, EHS or the IWK that it happened. 1/2
We have been operating temporary shelters in local hotels for the past 18 months. People complain about folks experiencing homelessness there too. So this is not just about removing people from public land…it’s about making homelessness completely invisible.
"There is no criminalization of homelessness."
FACT CHECK: Two people without a home received fines, which if defaulted, could result in jail time. So yes, homelessness is being criminalized.
Kudos to @portiaclarkcbc for her important questions.
Today, the city of Halifax fined people for being homeless, removed shelters on flat bed trucks and threw tents in the garbage. They maced demonstrators including a child.
Mayor Mike Savage claims the decision was made in the interest of "health and safety"
This is a disgrace.
