Pickering councillor @maranagy_w2 just got the biggest applause at AMO for urging the govt to bring in a code of conduct to protect local politicians and staff from abuse. She & her colleagues have received death threats from the alt right, but so far, nothing from Queen’s Park.

Check on the men in your life. These suggestions are some ways you can support them in talking about their #mentalhealth. #mensmentalhealth needs to be prioritized, and we can all play a part in doing so. #talkinghelps #mentalhealthmatters #TheClydeProject
From another broken-hearted parent on twitter.....“Depression is a disease that is sometimes fatal. He didn’t choose this anymore than someone chooses to die from cancer.” #sayhisname 💚Alex💚 #endthestigma

Thankyou to our volunteer Nicky for sharing this lovely quote by Donna Ashworth for our Virtual Cafe members.
Often we find it difficult to look after ourself after a bereavement.
Being given permission to love ourselves by those we have lost, can maybe help.
🧡
