Re: Fantastic opportunity: Brain Builders Lab

Elizabeth Perry ·
I'm very excited about this initiative. I believe it is the first ever national event in Canada that will talk ACEs. Although I won't be attending, I look forward to being included in the community of practice with other Canadians that will be established as a result of this event. I'm also very excited to find out who the 3 Nova Scotians that will be attending are. I hope we can collaborate in the future.

An Aboriginal approach to mental health is helping farmers deal with drought (qz.com)

In 2018, a study from the University of Newcastle in NSW found that farmers in rural parts of the state experienced “significant stress about the effects of drought on themselves, their families, and their communities.” Other research suggests that income insecurity related to drought increases the risk of suicide among farmers. Throughout Australia, rates of suicide have increased dramatically for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people over the past 30 years. The rise is due to...

Behind That Anger is Grief: A Mother-Daughter Relationship

Miriam Njoku ·
I remember last year on Mother’s Day, I was researching articles about complicated mother-daughter relationships and did not seem to find any that described my experience. What sparked this Google search? All the beautiful messages I saw on social media from daughters to their mothers. These messages described a relationship I did not know of. I wondered why instead of honoring my mom I was very angry at her, this time a type of anger that I could not hide, ruminate in silence as I had done...

When I realized I had built my adult life on lies, I had to go back to ground zero and figure out why and get to the core so I could build the rest of my life on a foundation of truth.

THAT TIME WE MOVED!

Miriam Njoku ·
George Floyd’s murder has made me cry many nights over how senseless and inhumane his killing was. Learning of the killing of Breonna Taylor and many other black people has been soul crushing to say the least. A question comes to my mind in these times, “where is home for me?”. I lived for 20 years in Switzerland and finally decided to leave 3 years ago. Canada, my new home, also has its problems with racism, police brutality and the way Indigenous people have been/are treated.
