Bien mérité!

Continuons à bâtir un monde où ces valeurs ne sont pas seulement des idéaux, mais des réalités concrètes pour chaque personne.

#JusticeSociale #SantéMentale #Équité #DignitéPourTous

Face aux reculs et au backlash, nous devons réaffirmer une vérité fondamentale : chaque personne mérite dignité, protection, sécurité, mais aussi une vie épanouie, enrichissante et empreinte d’amour. ❤️

Les organismes qui œuvrent en santé mentale, en dépendances, en protection de la jeunesse et auprès des populations en situation d'itinérance le savent: la discrimination, le trauma sont étroitement liés aux troubles de santé mentale, aux dépendances, et aux défis sociaux comme l’accès au logement

La dernière semaine nous rappelle une réalité troublante : les gains obtenus après de longues luttes pour la justice peuvent être rapidement fragilisés.

The issue of election interference in Canada through social media propaganda is an even bigger issue than elsewhere right now, I would say, because we already can't post news articles on Meta platforms and I feel like people keep forgetting that?

The conditions are ripe for disinformation!

Daughter of Nova Scotia woman killed by husband calls for more public talk about domestic violence Tara Graham said more campaigns about intimate partner violence are needed to help families and friends recognize if their loved ones are at risk

Canada is experiencing an epidemic of intimate partner violence and femicide. It is particularly bad in Nova Scotia.

So many elections happening or on the horizon and nary a peep about it on the campaign trails.

It’s possible to be festive, thoughtful and safe. Those of us still masking in public have our reasons. Mine mean the world to me. // L’esprit du temps des fêtes et la prudence s’arriment à merveille. #CareGiving #COVID #Health #Santé

La vie chez mes parents = une chasse aux trésors pour les turtles en chocolat. Papa les cache pour m’aider à ne pas en manger à journée longue. Maman le chicane de les avoir cachées, en mange une et les cache à son tour dès que papa quitte la pièce. #LaVieEnFamille #ProcheAidante

Box of chocolate turtles hidden in a cupboard

Life with my parents in a nutshell. Dad hides the turtles after I joke complain about an endless supply and my inability to resist. Mom looks for the turtles and protests when dad says he hid them. Dad gets the turtles. Mom eats one. Dad leaves the room and mom hides them 😂. #Caregiving #FamilyTime
