It’s #MentalHealthWeek. Take a quiet moment and check in with someone you love. You may be exactly the person they need right now. ❤️

At the Board of Health today, alongside @Tara_Gomes & @drandrewb, I had the opportunity to share @TOPublicHealth’s vision for developing a comprehensive #MentalHealth & #Addictions Strategy for Toronto. So happy to be leading this work w/ @epdevilla m.youtube.com/watch?v=qRdend…

@IrfanDhalla @epdevilla @UnityHealthTO @UHN Thank you! So happy to be partnering with you on this!

Thanks @epdevilla @UppalaC for your leadership on this. We at @UnityHealthTO are pleased to work with you and colleagues at @UHN to better support people who use drugs. Let’s end the overdose crisis.

We’ve all been through several hard years of this pandemic. Take a moment to reach out to someone you love today, and ask how they’re actually feeling. You may be exactly the support they need. ❤️ #BellLetsTalk #MentalHealthAwareness

@jy_zullo Yay! So proud of you! ❤️

Hmm. Did a thing today. I officially submitted my PhD application. Woooot 🥂 🎉. Probably the easiest part of the process and not really a cause for celebration, but whew! This has been years in the making and another step forward. #AcademicTwitter
