Girls and young women in Canada are facing nearly double the rate of mental health issues—yet fewer than half are getting support. I shared my thoughts on CBC’s coverage of the report.

Spoke on a psychedelics + mental health panel at The Psychotherapy Networker yesterday.

We dug into ethics, equity, and the role of therapists in this evolving space. Grateful for the thoughtful conversation—and to see my book, Healing the Wounds of Racial Trauma, featured as part of it.

After Hitler was elected Germany’s leader on Jan 30, 1933, he immediately put his close supporters in key govt positions and took emergency powers. In just 53 days, he legally gained control of the govt, then started persecuting opponents, religious and sexual minorities, and those who helped them.

I was recently asked: do microaggressions still count as microaggressions when committed by a person of color against another person of color.

Well, we wanted to know the answer, too, so we did some research.

Watch this reel to hear the answer!
