👇If anyone imagines a trauma victim can heal, even with excellent services, which we DON'T have, while struggling in today's Ontario on $1300 a month, they're delusional. Mental health is absolutely tied to material conditions. The medical model is a failure.
There is no therapy that cures poverty.
We can fund all the mental health services, (and we should fund them) but we shouldn't overlook how much of this anxiety and depression is driven by poverty itself. Talking about your feelings doesn't change one's material reality.
