With the @Rainbow0ptimist and other LGBTQ2 advocates this afternoon. Great to have Public Safety Minister @marcomendicino engage with them to understand what more can be done locally to combat hate and advance diversity. #ldnont

If we do not act now to make it easier for kids and families to get the mental health care they need, the potential consequences are profound and long lasting. #KidsCantWait for mental health care. #KidsCantWait

🚨This rise in severe mental health issues in recent years comes at a time when the child and youth mental health system was already under strain. Before the pandemic, there were already nearly 28,000 kids waiting for mental health care.

It's hard to capture the fear, stress and chaos a family experieces when their child is in crisis. If you knew what PCMH families, and those on a similar journey, go through you would be compelled to take action. A Retweet or💟helps spread the word. Ontario families need help now

"If you went to an emergency room with a broken arm, and were told ‘Yes, we can fix that but it’s going to take 92 days,’ that would just be completely unacceptable/ ridiculous. So why is that the case with mental health" @MikeSchreiner

Kids waited too long for mental health treatment pre COVID, and now it's worse. Schools are so important for supporting mental wellness – but they are not a silver bullet. We need to ensure kids can access mental health care when and where they need it #KidsCantWait #onpoli

This is really hard on a lot of families. Just know that it's ok to prioritize the mental health of yourself, your children and your entire family. We are going to get through this. ❤️

The pandemic has had an enormous impact on children’s mental health. Vaccinations will help kids get back to doing the things they love while keeping them safe. Check out this tip sheet for parents and caregivers on supporting a child with their COVID-19 vaccine.
