We open up the show with shocking mental health statistics and discuss approaching people with curiosity, finding what's important to you, brain dumping, problematic masculine norms, and the line between executives and labourers. Manny came to play devil's advocate on this episode of The New Tough.
On November 30th, 2023 – 9-8-8 – a suicide hotline launched across Canada. The $158.4-million project is funded and overseen by the public health agency and led by the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) in Toronto.
9-8-8 is available in English and French 24 hours a day, 365 days per year across Canada. Call or Text.
988’s website is: https://988.ca/
If your safety is at risk, call 9-1-1 right away.
Not many people know that you can go to the hospital’s emergency department where you stress to the triage nurse that you are having mental health issues and that you need to speak to the crisis response team. They have a system that you have to follow and eventually you do meet a psychologist that’s on call and you do get the help you need.
Want to support CAMH with research funding for mental health data and initiatives? With your support, we can change mental health care forever and ask people to go to camh.ca to donate whatever they can manage - every little bit helps.
Lastly, dear listener, we’d like to hear from you:
