Stigma and (double) disenfranchisement affects men too. Men's grief after perinatal loss is often delayed, this has implications for when and for how long we need to offer mental health support to men. Thank you @KateObst @mypsanz @GradSchoolUofA @sahmriAU #BetterTogether

People in Canada wait 5-11 years for an #endometriosis diagnosis and up to 2 more years for specialised care. We are calling on Members of Parliament
to #ActOnEndo by championing an action plan that provides funding to improve endometriosis care in Canada. #cdnppoli

Antivaxxers are planning to protest at hospitals in 10 provinces again on Monday.
Antivaxxers should NOT be allowed to protest outside hospitals, harass health workers & shame patients trying to access care.

New Zealand has been receiving praise for passing laws that provide paid leave following pregnancy loss. So should Canada do the same? @Candace_Global and our experts panel, @Michla2003 and @DrStephGilbert, weigh in on the support needed for grieving and recovering mothers.

The province's abrupt action to close youth justice facilities leaves some of Ontario's most marginalized kids, who are disproportionately Black or Indigenous, without access to the intensive mental health treatment they need. They need our help now. cmho.org/immediate-governmen…

Can we talk about #kindness in peer review? Just had an article rejected (it's fine, not the point) and the comments were just so mean and unhelpful. Remember people, there is another human being receiving your review! #kindnesscounts #epitwiter
