TORONTO -- As Canada marks Suicide Prevention Day amid a pandemic that has magnified the mental health struggles of many across the country, the federal government has announced that they are investing in community programs to help marginalized communities, including Black Canadians, battle this hidden health crisis.During the pandemic, things have only gotten worse.
While women are more likely to suffer from suicidal ideation, men are three times more likely to die, partly because few seek the help they need.“We’ve seen the rates of suicide go up since the emergence of COVID-19,” Patty Hajdu, Minister of Health, said in a press conference. “People need more help and more support.”
Of the $11.5 million, $6.6 million is being distributed through the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Mental Health Promotion Innovation Fund, and $4.9 million is being distributed through the Promoting Health Equity: Mental Health of Black Canadians Fund. Henick struggled for years with mental illness. He was standing on the edge of a bridge, in a moment of crisis, when a stranger stopped to talk to him. It was a gesture that saved his life, he says.
What we need is a universal basic income. That is if people actually care about suicide prevention and aren't just interested in virtue signaling.
How about getting out of the “Scamdemic” biz!!!!!
