 Thanks to Khadijah Kanji for directing this to social workers embedded in our systems of care, likely rings true for other professions as well.

To be able to begin addressing systems in the contexts of: organizations, community society I’m curious what mental health social workers think of current efforts to move to action?

Such as:

— Kwame McKenzie’s and the organizations therein that focus on the need for population health and a demographic, race lens – IE: in the context of A) psychosis B) Covid 19 response. https://www.wellesleyinstitute...you-can-do-about-it/

–the relevance of health organizations prioritizing the social determinants of health as relevant to care?

–the “recovery model” and CMHA’s “Framework for Support” https://cmha.ca/documents/a-framework-for-support

For sure so far implementation of these ideas are … fill in the blank______________, but currently are the rally points for social workers who work within organizations to take action on anti-racism… change and address the underlying systemic oppression she outlines.
