Myth vs Fact: Anxiety vs Panic

You've likely heard "anxiety attack" and "panic attack" used interchangeably. But here's the truth: while both are intense and distressing, they are actually distinct experiences with key differences in their onset, symptoms, intensity, and duration.

Understanding these differences isn't just about semantics; it's crucial for accurately recognizing what you or others might be experiencing, and for knowing how to best seek or provide support.

Hi friends,

If you know me, you know I’m pretty passionate when it comes to harm reduction and meeting people where they're at. One of the biggest things that’s helped keep me 9 months free from fentanyl has been educating myself. Not just about substances, but about many different aspects that affect our communities today.

I’m also on Sublocade, a once-a-month, long-acting injectable form of buprenorphine used to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). It's been part of my healing, and part of my journey.

With all that said, I’m incredibly proud (and slightly anxious) to share that I’ll be presenting a workshop I’ve been working a little while on

The topic?
Substances vs Alcohol Access

It’s not always an easy conversation. It might even feel uncomfortable. But that’s okay. Because discomfort can be a sign we’re being challenged to think differently.. and that’s exactly what harm reduction calls us to do.

This workshop is about starting conversations, raising awareness, and chipping away at stigma, one layer at a time. I would love if you could join me. 💜

🗓 Sunday, July 14th
🕑 2–3 PM
📍 Red Ribbon Café, inside Pozitive Pathways (511 Pelissier St, Windsor)
☕ Coffee and baked goods provided!

Thanks to all my lovely people in my life 😇

These numbers are alarming, but they're a reality we must confront. When it comes to youth mental health, awareness is just the first step. The real challenge lies in ensuring our children and youth receive the support they desperately need, when they need it. Early intervention is key to a better prognosis.
