Hey - my friend and I are planning to send a critical letter about the state of Mental Health Care in our province to the Premier and we need some help making sure that it makes an impact! Nova Scotia’s Mental Health care institution is far from comprehensive, let alone competent, with very few beds, resources and sparse coverage even for those with private health plans. Many of us who have been in and out of the system have had less than inspiring experiences coupled with a distressing lack of outpatient support or follow-up care. 

We are looking for other Nova Scotians to talk about their experiences within the system in order to present the Premier with a broader and more accurate picture of what actually goes on when mentally ill people attempt to get treatment in this province.  

While the focus of this project is on the short fallings of the system and negative experiences, if your experiences have been positive there is room for your voice as well! If you were treated well, feel free to send us a paragraph or two about what you think worked.

If you would like to contribute, please send your story to:

nsmentalhealth@hotmail.com 

Anonymity is just fine! We are not looking to attach names (unless you want to!)

If you are Nova Scotian or know that you have Nova Scotian friends who follow tumblr, please give this a signal boost! <3

not sure if any nova scotians follow me, but maybe this will be relevant to friends-of-friends!

Well I know at least one Nova Scotian follows me. 

This is an awesome idea, Jenn!
