Living in Alberta is a comorbidity.
Living in Alberta is a comorbidity. https://t.co/oIh50lzPth
Both are supervised consumption sites (bars) except one has a regulated supply of drugs with labels and percentages so you know exactly what you're consuming to reduce the harms. #harmreduction
If you claim to want to help people who use drugs but do not support harm reduction then you do not actually want to help people who use drugs, you just want to selfishly and forcibly impose your belief system on others. And you are also denying all objective scientific evidence.
Every study: The risk of dying immediately after discharge from compulsory care is very high, especially for younger clients, and more efforts should be made to prevent these deaths. UCP: let’s try involuntarily care
I open every harm reduction lecture for medical students and residents with this slide or one like it. “Say it with me now”:
So many are pushing back on UCP plans for involuntary treatment / forced abstinence this week. Keep pressuring UCP MLAs to answer for it. Here's a model explaining the real Alberta Drug Model since the UCP came to power:

In one of my classes a few years ago, we watched a therapy session for someone w/ a diagnosis that I once had. I just sat there while people expressed their unfiltered judgments… Be careful of how you talk about patients and disorders— you never know who’s listening.

My awesome grad students (@zapabecky, Diana Duran, & Isabel Aguirre) created a website to help psychology students apply to grad school. Tabs are organized and updated on a regular basis. Feedback and new resources/links are appreciated. Please share! sites.google.com/view/reach-for…
If for some unfathomable reason, you don't want to read my ~80,000 word thesis (what do you mean, the pubs are open?), then please enjoy this Twitter thread version instead... 😉 🧵
Normalizing mental health: I went to 4 different therapists and finally found the right one on the 5th try. It was an exhausting journey, repeating my life story over and over again. But, it was totally worth it. 1/ @AcademicChatter @OpenAcademics #AcademicTwitter #Mentalhealth
Clinical words used colloquially can be invalidating & confusing. “OCD” and “bipolar” are not adjectives and “manic” and “anorexic” have specific meanings. Mindfulness of language is important & kind. While we want to normalize mental illness, we don’t want to informalize it.
Some Thoughts on Therapy: 1. Therapy can help you learn life-long coping tools 2. You don’t have to be in a ”crisis state” to be in therapy 3. Going to therapy doesn’t mean you’re “crazy” 4. Therapy can help boost your physical health 5. Therapy is a form of self-care
