SUMMARY:Mental Health Impacts\, Inequities and Investments for BC's Recovery — CMHA COVID-19 Webinar
DESCRIPTION: Many months have passed since COVID-19 was declared a public health emergency. We have all had to adjust to a “new normal” where we socially distance and adhere to strict guidelines to minimize the spread of the virus. These efforts have kept many of us physically safe\, but have had a tremendous impact on our mental health and wellness. Women\, parents with children\, and those already experiencing health and social harms —Indigenous peoples\, people of colour\, people with disabilities\, LGBTQ+ folks\, and people with low incomes—are among the most impacted. \nIn this webinar\, CMHA BC will convene a panel of community leaders and researchers to discuss the latest statistics on how people are coping\, how the pandemic has revealed and deepened existing inequities\, and how the Province can invest for better mental health. \nPanelists\nDr. Nel Wieman\,  \nFirst Nations Health Authority \nDr. Cornelia (Nel) Wieman works for the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) as the Acting Chief Medical Officer\, Mental Health & Wellness and as an Adjunct Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at Simon Fraser University. \nDr. Emily Jenkins\,  \nUniversity of British Columbia \nDr. Emily Jenkins\, a registered nurse\, is an Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing at the University of British Columbia. She brings extensive clinical and research expertise from acute and community mental health and substance use settings. \nJulia Kaisla\, \nCMHA North West Vancouver \nJulia has led the CMHA North West Vancouver branch in the role of Executive Director for the last three years. The CMHA NWV branch provides low cost counselling\, peer support and navigation\, mental health housing\, homeless outreach services\, employment support and training.

SUMMARY:Missed Connections: Social Cohesion and COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:Humans rely on each other for our survival and well-being. But the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically altered the ways we can connect and relate to one another. \nSocial cohesion describes the sense of connection and solidarity within and across communities and has been referred to as the “glue that holds a society together.” Even after some re-opening of Canadian society\, physical distancing guidelines remain in place and in-person interactions remain mostly limited to our “bubbles\,” consisting usually of our family members and already established close friendships. Over the past months\, though some Canadians have indicated a greater sense of connection with their families\, they report feeling less connected to their friends and the broader community. When we can’t associate with varied groups of people\, we miss out on opportunities to move beyond narratives of “us” and “them” and towards kindness\, trust and empathy for those whose experiences are different from our own. \nDespite our physical separation\, a caremongering movement quickly emerged in response to the pandemic. Diverse communities have started mutual aid networks and neighbourhood pods to address inequities made worse by the pandemic\, and community foundations are funding innovative grassroots projects to combat isolation. People are showing support in unprecedented numbers to speak out about racism and many are finding ways to connect with each other and even strengthen social resilience in their communities. \nBut as the months pass and we move deeper into the pandemic\, can we keep this momentum up? As the demands to limit our social interactions persist and the stress of uncertainty and isolation continue\, how will our mental health and wellbeing\, as well as our ability to cooperate as a society\, be impacted? \nThis instalment of Distant\, Not Disengaged is all about connection. Join us to share how your social experience has changed under the pandemic and what you are both hopeful for and worried about. You’re invited to bring a photo (printed or on your phone) of a favourite recent social interaction\, pre-physical distancing and COVID-19\, to share in small discussion groups with fellow participants. \nWe will also hear from some special guests who will share their thoughts on our social fabric and how it has been and may continue to be affected by COVID-19. \n\n\n\n\nCO-FACILITATOR\n\nJane Cox – Principal\, Cause+Affect\n\n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nLidia Kemeny – Director\, Partnerships\, Vancouver Foundation\nSean Lauer – Associate Professor\, Department of Sociology\, UBC\nOthers to be confirmed
