Championing Support Over Coercion: Emphasizing Mental Health Needs
This World Mental Health Day, we confront a troubling reality: the mental health landscape is shifting in harmful ways in parts of Canada and the United States. The prospect of more coercive approaches threatens to undermine essential care and support. Advocacy for a support-centric model must be at the forefront of discussions.

With mental health issues gaining visibility, this day serves as a reminder of the need for compassion in treatment. We must strive to create environments where individuals feel safe to seek help, and supportive approaches triumph over harmful tactics.
