The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health teamed up with the Chiefs of Ontario and First Nation youth to produce this video to address opioid use and abuse. It is a quietly powerful and positive public message. From the release (CAMH Support First Nation Youth):

Renee Linklater, CAMH’s Manager of Aboriginal Community Engagement says, “the opportunity to collaborate with the Chiefs of Ontario has provided an exciting opportunity to support First Nations youth. These public education tools will provide great resources for education and training, and more so, provide important messages to society.”

Renee says this campaign demonstrates that First Nations youth in Ontario are taking an active role in generating a youth-driven response to the prescription drug issues in their communities and are very concerned about the impact of addiction. She expects the PSA and video will be disseminated to a wide audience across the country and hopes they will be screened at film festivals.

    My Pensées

    The title of this blog is an allusion to the famous work of Blaise Pascal.  This blog represents the variety of my interests and thoughts on any given day and are  strung together, like Pascal's Pensees, in no particular order. I work in the field of mental health,  education, and human rights. I write and am a human rights advocate. I enjoy poetry, jazz, spirituality, politics and a potpourri of other interests that you will see reflected in this blog.
