CMHA recognises the profound emotional and psychological toll of violence and hatred in our communities. At CMHA, we stand in unwavering solidarity with all those affected and reaffirm our commitment to compassion, unity, and care. We know our mental health and social and emotional wellbeing depend on feeling safe and connected in our communities without fear.
We urge everyone to be mindful of frequent media exposure during this time and to support children by having age-appropriate conversations about these events. Resources for parents and practitioners are available here: https://bit.ly/4oTpIoa.
If you are struggling, please reach out for support. As we grieve together, we can ensure that our compassion and connectedness shine the way forward out of this dark time and into the light of our common humanity.
