In my 6 years as Mayor, I have come to better understand the huge human toll spurred by inattention on mental health.
I join you all in the collective call to fight stigmas and demand more support from our provincial health system. We need it now more than ever.

A note here: If you are thinking of suicide or think someone else may be, there is help. Call your local crisis line or the police, or go to the emergency room of your local hospital. Resources are available through the government of Canada. #BellLetsTalk

Another crisis within this crisis: from June — as Canada worked to flatten the coronavirus curve, mental health experts were concerned that suicide rates in the country could be headed in the opposite direction. Keep an eye on your people. #BellLetsTalk

We’re experiencing a lot of emotions in this pandemic, some that may be new and foreign to us. Back in May, two Toronto doctors explained what we may be feeling in 5 stages and why that’s normal. Feels pertinent today, too. #BellLetsTalk thestar.com/news/gta/2020/04…

I did some reporting on mental health in the pandemic last year. It’s an area I care a lot about as a person & as a reporter. On this #BellLetsTalk day, let me share a few pieces that may serve as reminders to check in, that you’re not alone & that there’s hope.
