As a Canadian-American whose Canadian colleagues are now pulling out of US research collaborations - I hope we get through this period of instability towards the kind of stability we once had and took for granted. #tariffs
Our family had been planning a Spring Break roadtrip along the West Coast of the US for months. Definitely not heading there now. We can all do our part by supporting made-in-BC-and šØš¦ goods, services and experiences, and those from our allies. #tariffs

Delighted to lead the @TheLancet series on behalf of the @j_artshealthlab with @nilsfietje @WHO_Europe to raise awareness of the evidence base and set a course to realize the potential of the arts and arts therapies as a health resource.
āEstonia is a small country. But we are brave.ā Such an immense pleasure to meet Estoniaās First Lady Sirje Karis, a champion for children and young peopleās #mentalhealth - including the wellbeing of youth impacted by conflict and war. Indeed, šŖšŖ has taken great strides in addressing mental health needs. The Baltic country has recently established a Department of Mental Health in the Ministry of Social Affairs. Itās developing a suicide prevention plan. And health authorities are working hard to address the stigma and discrimination that stops people seeking mental health care in the first place. We at @WHO_Europe also share Ms. Karisā passion for art as a strong healing force for children and young people. Together with the Jameel Arts and Health Lab, WHO/Europe is now leading the development of @TheLancet Global Series on the health benefits of the arts. And our work on āsocial prescribingā is connecting patients to the arts, museums and culture to enhance their health and well-being. Thank you, Your Excellency, for sharing your insights! #ArtsForHealth #HealthForAll
