My mom is in her 50s and is worried it’s too late for her to get her PhD. RT if you think she should go for it

When you say "Mental Health Worker" it is not clear what you mean? We need more clarity here. Plus 70% of mental health concerns emerge during childhood. What about prevention? What about early intervention? What about elementary and middle schools? #regulateONCYCP nitter.gq/YouthON/status/9772284…
Every secondary school in Ontario will have access to an additional mental health worker, with about 400 new positions being added within two years. Need support? 1-800-668-6868 #mentalhealth

Replying to @coteau
@coteau Your Twitter account says "Opportunity for ALL"....please provide CYC's with the opportunity to discuss regulation with you. Think about the children and youth in Ontario! #regulateONCYCP #OACYC

Replying to @couteau
@couteau Our field posesses years and years of practical experience of working with young people in care. We've read the Blueprint. We were consulted during its development. We know it's not enough. #kidscantwait #regulateONCYCP #LetsTalk nitter.gq/JacobConkin/status/969…

@coteau If you aren’t going to help us in our fight for regulation can you at least guide us in the right direction of who to contact to consider the needs of regulation? I want a name/mailing address.That blue print doesn’t stop unqualified individuals to serve youth on reserve

Absolutely. Regulation would include development of professional standards and accountability measures.. As an @OACYC member, I sign the following code of ethics. Shouldn't we have ethical standards for all people working with our kids? #regulateONCYCP oacyc.org/code-of-ethics
