When the wealth of the wealthy is more important than the lives of the poor you know a society is failing. We must question the system and the values it is based on that allows this to happen. And we all own a piece of that.

What a wonderful bunch of people! Great organizations are great because of the folks involved; staff, management, and volunteers. CMHAO is indeed fortunate to have the strategic guidance of these individuals. And they look so happy doing it!
Way to go Kathleen! Great explanations - mental health and physical health are so interconnected. Can’t wait to participate - thank goodness it’s leap year and we have an extra day to make our 2,000 push-ups .
We had a blast on @CTVOttMornLive talking about The Push-Up Challenge!

Scattered site housing! Allows true integration, supports as and when needed, dignity, independence, better health, and reduced drain on health care and housing systems. This is the gold standard for a reason.
CMHA Ottawa is one of the biggest providers of #HousingFirst in Canada. We got to spend some time with its visionary inventor, @SamTsemberis.

2 Smart minds in a smart and important conversation. Connecting the dots between positive mental health and housing.
Dr. Susan Farrell engaged in an enriching conversation with Dr. Tsemberis, followed by a dynamic Q&A featuring experts like Leif Harris, @CatharineV, and Dr. @TimAubry.
Two great leaders! In two great organizations! The future of community mental health care is in good hands - now let’s get behind them and make things happen.

LCA is working hard with our elected officials, city staff & social services to dramatically change the way we help our vulnerable. Mega shelters concentrated in a small area are not the solution: small-scale emergency housing located in EACH of our 24 wards, along with services.
Indeed. Small changes in density add up and don't alter the community's vibe. And now if we can just get pre-approved designs and fast track permits construction will be easier and cheaper.

Congrats to CMHA Ottawa’s own Dania Versailles, Director of Clinical Services, co-chair of the newly established Archipel–Ontario Health Team. Hard work & dedication from across the community resulted in the creation of this network. Thanks to Dania for her leadership and drive.
Medical/institutional services are the apex of services, and for the most part they are great in this country but so overburdened because we have starved the community based service base needed to make the system work. Community services run in the community are the fundamental.
.@justintrudeau Doctors and hospitals are just the tip of the iceberg. Mental health care goes so much deeper. @JustinTrudeau: put community mental health care in the budget. #ActForMentalHealth
