"Reducing poverty translates into significant savings for the economy and the public purse. Canada could save $4 to $10 for every dollar spent on mental health supports."

Remember, a basic income floor can slash poverty 40% at just 5% of what poverty costs.

A basic income can be a strong investment in mental health
Improving mental health through a basic income is a wise investment, one that will prevent the needless suffering of generations to come.

Feeling stuck? Your mind might be telling you: "Wait until you feel ready." The ACT approach? "Take action now, even with doubt, and readiness will follow." #ACT #GetUnstuck #mentalhealth #ontario #canada #therapy

Often in therapy I see clients who don't know how to react when they are simply seen, heard, and respected. They aren't familiar with the feeling. These things can be free, and everyone deserves all three! #mentalhealth #ontario #affordabletherapy

Some solid advice these days... The body and mind are always connected!
I am once again here to remind you:

Do a 5-minute mobility warmup BEFORE your next existential meltdown.

This way you don’t pull a hamstring dropping into the fetal position.

Melt down SMARTER, not HARDER 👍

Anxiety often tells the story of ‘what if everything goes wrong?’ - but what if we rewrite it? What if everything works out? What if you handle it better than you think?

Shout this from the roof tops.
Research shows that for every dollar invested in covering psychological services in Canada, two dollars is saved for society over the long-term.

With the polar vortex touching down in Ontario, I encourage folks to look at Dr. Kari Liebowitz's book and work. Her thoughts on Wintertime mindsets, lessons from around the globe, and cognitive-behavioural approach to the season is fascinating and enlightening!

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.
