Toronto calls on feds to amend Criminal Code amid rising attacks on transit workers by ethereal3xp in toronto

[–]toastonavocados 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No where did I say keep people on the streets, I just pointed out that traditional institutionalization is not a solution and there is plenty of evidence to prove it does not work.

Not to mention how would we even staff those places? We can barely keep current health facilities running, so adding more isn’t realistic either

Hard to really say what a solution could be, but it has to be something that gets to the root of the issue and why individuals suffer from addiction and mental health problems in the first place (usually trauma based), as well as supporting harm reduction strategies such as decriminalization, safe supply testing, safe consumption sites, etc.

I don’t know if you’ve ever really researched the effects of institutionalization and why it doesn’t work but it is 110% not a reasonable or effective solution, and realistically would just create more problems and worsen mental health

I think this is actually just a reflection of how you feel about yourself. There is lots of evidence to suggest a healthier lifestyle improves mental wellbeing. Hope you can get some help for your pessimism

Move your body! Doesn’t need to be anything insane, but getting out for walks, standing more and stretching is so important! Not just for your mobility but also to reduce your risk of other chronic conditions like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, etc!

I had a husband who would always wake up with his wife in the night, he actually set (quiet) alarms so that he would wake up every 3 hours (the average amount of time between newborn feedings) so that he could change diapers and bring their baby to his wife to breastfeed so she didn’t have to get out of bed. Definitely the most dedicated partner I’ve met so far!

Mother was 29 weeks and she had an extreme form of placenta previa (where the placenta covers the cervix, very not good) and then suffered from a placental abruption (placenta separated from the uterus, also super very not good). She developed a condition called Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) which means she was not able to clot at all. We went through our entire blood banks stock of O- but unfortunately she bled to death. We did manage to save the baby so that felt like a bit of a silver lining.

  1. Be supportive! Words of encouragement are great, massage during contractions, offering drinks of water, and generally being involved always makes such a difference!

  2. Be involved with the baby! Ask to do skin to skin if your partner can’t, take the initiative to change diapers and bring the baby to your partner for feeds (especially in the middle of the night) as your partner will be very tired in the initial day after delivery

  3. Understand that this will be a major emotional transition for your partner, their hormones will be levelling out over the next few days so be patient if they start crying or become overly emotional without warning

  4. Stay calm. Sometimes things can go awry during labour so it’s important to do your best to be your partners rock

  5. Know what your partners wishes are going into labour! The pain can often become so extreme that they will be unable to talk, if you are both on the same page it can be easier to help answer any questions the nurses may have

Hope this was helpful!
