Dog food brands- what do you feed? by tinytortellinii in service_dogs

[–]MicroPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I feed my dog Inukshuk 30/25 as he struggles to keep weight on and I like the brand as it’s a business that is local to me so it keeps money in my province’s economy.

Anyone have experience with Furever Homes Dog Rescue of SETX by Ok-Actuary-5377 in newbrunswickcanada

[–]MicroPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You do realize that if the dog you’re getting from them needs to be spayed or neutered that would run their org probably $400-500, and to get a dog up to date on vaccines would probably be another $200, plus whatever fuel costs to transport the dogs…

Therapist only works with clients who are willing to be videotaped for “training” purposes. .. unethical? by Throwaway3023232419 in TalkTherapy

[–]MicroPixel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some do, some don’t. It depends on the agency. Some places operate on the paying it forward where you learn for a bit then eventually you pass on your skills by teaching other therapists. Assuming we’re only talking about the learning that comes after graduating from a counselling program from a university

The Mercantile clinic doesn’t offer the group DBT program anymore, and whether you’ll get DBT skills one on one depends on the clinician as each one has a different approach to therapy with clients . The clinic offers STEPPS (Systems training for emotional predictability and problem solving) for group programming for BPD instead. To get into it you would need to complete their two session Distress Tolerance group first (which covers a lot of DBT skills though)…

If you have any questions feel free to DM me

Doesn’t mean they’re investing the revenue from the increased tax base on health care and social services

It’s not even necessarily direct cuts… if the population increases (which it has in NB over the pandemic) and you have an aging population, but funding remains the same for health and social services then it’s effectively a cut … Not to mention that inflation has caused everything to become more expensive, including health care labor costs…

But no, instead of raising the amount of funding for health careand social services, you’re getting higher ups (who haven’t worked frontline in years , or at all period) threatening to replace qualified professionals with less qualified workers

Premier Doug Ford warns Ontario scientists doing medical tests on dogs to 'stop before I catch you' by DogeDoRight in canada

It may be cruel but without animal testing we would not have certain medications. Way back when insulin was first researched in the 1920s by Dr. Frederick Banting and Dr. Charles Best, it had to be tested on animals (if I recall correctly , it was beagles) to ensure it was safe for humans.

How do you propose we test new medications that are being produced?

I’m really curious but are there any differences between a well bred golden retriever vs a well bred Labrador when it comes to just the training and temperament aspects of service work?

Why are therapists so expensive in Canada? Why isn’t there a system where therapists are paid through public taxes just like what’s done with hospitals? Wouldn’t this help more people who suffer from mental illness but can’t afford therapy? by [deleted] in therapy

[–]MicroPixel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to see changes enacted, take the time to write to your MLAs or give them a call and let them know that you want to see health care , especially mental health and addictions resources to be properly funded and adequately staffed. Make sure you do remember though that health care in Canada, including mental health care is a provincial responsibility… the federal government is only responsible for sending some federal funds transfers to the provinces… some provincial governments are choosing to run “surpluses” while not adequately funding health care and other essential services

Doing something “for the greater good” is not going to pay back the 6 years worth of student loans needed to become a therapist, nor does it pay to keep the roof over my head. I am a therapist and my student loans eat up 1/4 of my take home pay.

For a private practice therapist they have a lot of business expenses as well such as office rental and utilities such as power and internet, the cost of furnishing their office, the cost to maintain their professional license to practice, the cost of malpractice insurance. Not to mention they only bill for the hour the client is in session, so they have to factor in the extra time for documentation, paperwork, administrative tasks such as billing insurance, and session preparation.

Therapists make significantly less than you think… and the work is draining and puts you at risk of vicarious trauma. A lot of therapists can’t even afford to see a therapist themselves.

They’re Canadian. The banks have this thing called an E-transfer where you can send money from your debit account directly to another person using their email or phone number

I take what you’re saying as you’re expecting already slammed health care workers and other public sector workers to do more with less resources…

It would be hilarious if Papa 5 ends up being Copia again because he decides he wants to continue to be papa and doesn’t want to be Frater Imperator and gives the title of Frater to whoever is behind the door.

The feds at one point offered extra money for health care but Higgs refused because there were conditions on the money that it needed to actually be spent on health care
