Happy world mental health day!

Today, I want us to look forward into the future of mental health!

Today in Toronto, on World Mental Health Day, Education Minister Stephen Lecce announced that the provincial government will be investing nearly $40 million dollars to advance student mental health and permanently funding approximately 180 frontline mental health workers in secondary schools. 

Over recent years in the context of reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples be it indicated  by acknowledgements at the get go of meetings or announcements of policy’s and initiatives, there has remained a sense for me we are not going about reform and change very well.  Mary McPherson’s drawing “Reconcile What?” helped to wake me up.

Join Health Quality Ontario in developing a new quality standard outlining what quality care looks like for people leaving the hospital after a mental health or addictions related stay.

I have received a request from a lawyer:

Please provide copies of all notes, records , email correspondence , letters, etc. and other documents of any nature that are in your file, whether in English or any other language, at your earliest convenience.

==========

My understanding is that I should write a Report and then include the notes. correspondence, etc. Or I can just send the raw verbal material and let them figure out what they need?

Are there any guidelines?

Editorials of the summer from the Thunder Bay Chronicle Journal, St. Catherine’s Standard and Toronto Star seek to sort out the good and bad of the expected income benefits policy reforms by the Ontario Ministry of Children, Community and Social Services.  While there is the potential of discussion sounding too political on government decisions, there are also facts about these actions that impact on the decades of building effective resources to advance the Recovery Model, but how to find them?

Leading the way in Mental Health Training and Education

Hi there

I’m looking for a pain clinic to join,  in and around London, like Sarnia, Hamilton, Kitchener, St Catherine, Mississauga, Toronto.

I attended pain primer, MSK and cadaver practice courses and unofficially did some intervention blocks like suprascapular, paraspinal and sciatic blocks and quite familiar with assessment. I also did ODT courses.

If anyone can help me find a location and a supervisor for me I’d appreciate very much.
