It’s #MentalHealthWeek. Take a quiet moment and check in with someone you love. You may be exactly the person they need right now. ❤️
At the Board of Health today, alongside @Tara_Gomes & @drandrewb, I had the opportunity to share @TOPublicHealth’s vision for developing a comprehensive #MentalHealth & #Addictions Strategy for Toronto. So happy to be leading this work w/ @epdevilla m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRdend…
We’ve all been through several hard years of this pandemic. Take a moment to reach out to someone you love today, and ask how they’re actually feeling. You may be exactly the support they need. ❤️ #BellLetsTalk #MentalHealthAwareness

Hatred may be triggered by past experiences and unresolved grievances, but let’s be clear: Hate is hate—not a #MentalIllness.
