Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make choices. Mental health is important at every stage of life.

November is Woman Abuse Prevention Month. This year has been a particularly difficult year and we have seen a massive increase in the incidences of violence against women in Ontario. Shelters across the province simply don’t have the resources they need to be there for the women who need them. Last year in Ontario, every 11 days a woman or child was killed by a man known to them, with the majority being their current or former intimate partner. And the majority of shelters... in Ontario can’t even cover their basic operating costs without turning to fundraising. This is not okay. But right now, you can help. Please visit wrappedincourage.ca or text the word COURAGE to 41010 right now to donate $5 to $25. Every dollar raised today will be shared with participating shelters to help women right here in Ontario today.

You don’t have to be a sociopath to stonewall, but the act of intentional stonewalling contains the cold, callous attitude of the sociopath.
