Wishing all my nurse colleagues and others @RNAO a Happy Nursing Week! This week in my mind especially is those nurses who help children & youth with mental health issues. You are making a big difference, especially under difficult circumstances.
1 in 5 youth are living with a mental health illness. Yet too many families face months-long wait-lists, overwhelmed systems, and the impossible choice between paying for help or going without it.
Youth are asking for support. We must stop responding with silence, stigma, and underfunding.
Mental health care is not a luxury. It is essential healthcare. This means real investment in counsellors, community programs, crisis services, school supports, and early intervention – before young people reach a breaking point.
Check in. Listen. Advocate. Vote for policies that fund care. Demand better.
Because no young person should have to fight alone just to be heard. #YouthMentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness

Harm reduction saves lives. Removing harm reduction options and forcing people into (non-existent) treatment beds is a 20th century solution for 21st century struggles. Join me in signing RNAO's Action Alert.
Supervised consumption services are evidence based, compassionate, and essential. Removing them will cost lives — but together we can push for change.
Join us in urging Premier @fordnation to reverse the decision to close supervised consumption services: RNAO.ca/policy/action-alerts…

People who rely on supervised consumption sites need support and compassion, not stigma and reduced choices. @RNAO and @DorisGrinspun are asking @FordNation to continue funding for life-saving SCS sites! Join us now: rnao.ca/policy/action-alerts

RNAO President @LhamoDolkar2023 today shared her "healthy perspective" on a fed. Conservative motion proposing to restrict health care for refugees. bit.ly/3OI4Y6N As a 1st gen Canadian myself, I urge others like me to push back against slams to our newest newcomers.
