In light of the events in Vancouver, it is incredibly evident that we need to invest in mental health care and advocate to our governments to invest in early intervention, detection, and treatment of psychological issues. It’s hard to imagine the gravity of loss today. But over and over again, we have individuals struggling with mental health and feeling disenfranchised committing these crimes. It’s complicated, but not so complicated at the same time. The loss is unimaginable and heart breaking. The anguish that follows after this tragedy for individuals, families, communities is difficult. Since the start of my career in the 90’s, early intervention has been “lip service” … I’d like to see it be a priority.
Rest in peace to all those who lost their lives today. ☮️
