Some #GoodNews: @KidsHelpPhone is offering phone counselling in Arabic via interpreters. Young people can now call 1-800-668-6868 and select option 3 to connect to a counsellor via an Arabic-speaking interpreter. More info at kidshelpphone.ca/Arabic

@seguincbc So valuable for us as a community to make space for the voices of these articulate young women. I so appreciated hearing their perspective and recommendations about creating meaningful change this morning.

How many other people have @netflix #deathto2020 on their #NewYearsEve viewing list?

Multiple folks in the Twitterverse commenting on their mood this morning. Cranky? Stressed? Totally normal reactions to an abnormal #COVID19 holiday season! Check out @redcrosscanada guide to coping w/ a health emergency during the holidays redcross.ca/crc/documents/… #mentalhealth

I love how the parents say they saw their kids practicing at home. #KindnessMatters! And we need more right now @somegoodnews

Delighted to attend today's #MHForAll webinar. Great point by @russells70 that instead of labelling people's needs as complex, we define our systems as complex. This promotes thinking about systems change to increase accessibility of #mentalhealth services

Listening to university students on @TheCurrentCBC who are seeking tuition cuts now that courses are online. Just finished a distance ed degree and wanted to chime in that in my program tuition was higher for distance students than oncampus peers for the same courses due to fees

@StephTomilson @RothesayHigh Congrats! We're excited to have you here in Fredericton! 🙂

Hey @CFSnowbirds, meet your youngest fan! 6-month-old Skylar was pretty excited to see you flyover #Fredericton just now! Big thank you for #OperationInspiration!

@ToddLeader1 @CASW_ACTS That's so generous. I would greatly appreciate a copy so I can learn more! Twitter won't allow me to DM you but believe you should be able to DM me.

1 upside of #covid19 suspending my BSW field placement: my self-directed remote learning includes @CASW_ACTS's webinar series feat @ToddLeader1 on creating a client-centered #mentalhealth system. So timely! #Grateful

BTW @CASW_ACTS has made all webinars in their library free and accessible during this time. Check em out #CASW" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">casw-acts.ca/en/resources/c… #keeplearning #keepgrowing

During the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, Indigenous people in Canada were 6.5 times as likely to end up in the ICU. Now with #COVID19, African-Americans in NYC are dying at twice the rate of their white peers. Don't tell me that pandemics impact 'all people equally'. Race matters.

@LoriKerstens @RootsofEmpathy @ASD_West Amazing! Thanks so much! 😊

@mostlyhealthy @RootsofEmpathy @ASD_West Thank you so much Skylar. I will be sure to send this message along to your friends :)

Skylar was a @RootsofEmpathy teacher this year at Priestman Street Elementary School in #Fredericton. She was missing all her students so we decided to record a little update! @ASD_West

@picaroons Haha that was my husband! Currently enjoying our cans of 506! Thanks again 🙂

Had a second interview for a government job. I got asked a question in French. Said I didn’t know how to speak French. Then I got asked why I put “Yes” in the box stating if I was bilingual. Told them I spoke English and Oji-Cree. The interviewers sat in silence.
