John Longhurst of the Winnipeg Free Press wrote an article about Mission: Assistance in Living. MAiL is aimed at identifying, providing, improving and/or facilitating access to care and supports that advance the inherent dignity, security and fundamental equality of all persons— including persons with physical or mental illness, disability, or older age, as well as persons experiencing poverty, homelessness, isolation or a lack of care and support—in order to live with dignity, to flourish, and fully participate in society on an equal basis with others.

There is a critical need for us to re-ignite a life-affirming approach to the care and wellbeing of all Canadians based in shared values of the dignity of the human person. So, I’d like you to take a moment to reflect on how you can make a difference in the lives of individuals who are less privileged than you, cannot access the services they need to improve their physical and mental health, and receive the care and support they need to live with dignity and flourish.

I invite you to read the article and sign the petition. I respectfully ask that you also share this with your contacts in order to make a difference in the lives of those who need our support.

988 is a new phone number that recently went live to help people get help in a mental health crisis. Similar to 911, this line is dedicated for anyone in need of mental health assistance of any kind. Its 988.

May I please get 2 friends or family members to copy and re-post? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening.
