So authors point out that therapists might be aware that all of their online postings, blogs, or chats might be viewed by clients and that these archives will stay online in some format.
The internet is creating new ethical challenges for most of us.
Clinical, or ethical problems related to internet technology and your therapy practice, it may make sense to consult with a professional with expertise in this area, or someone who can if you are a therapist who is seeking further consultation regarding technical. Then again, this can be a wise investment. She talked about their mandate to reduce stigma and said there had been reductions in stigma but people were still reluctant to seek services.
We must have services for them to access, if people are being encouraged to get help.
Let me ask you something. Actually the next logical question, that Paikin asked, was Are services more readily available today than 10 years ago?
His first question, therefore, was to ask if Canadians have better mental illness care today than they had a decade ago. Ms Bradley found that to be a big question and replied that the landscape has improved but that look, there’s still few minutes, he jumps off a bridge. Normally, there were without beds for them. Anyways, in Vancouver, a man is discharged from hospital early and given a bus ticket. That same month, the emergency room in the Ontario city of Guelph was at a standstill as they had a psychiatric bed shortage. Therefore this past winter, a 17 year old girl was discharged from a Ottawa hospital still suicidal after spending 8 nights in the emergency room waiting for a psychiatric bed. So it’s the reality that we face across the country and a reality that ain’t being addressed by the MHCC. While I have been very critical of them in Huffington Post, it’s the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a Mental Health Commission for Canada and, I have to congratulate Louise Bradley, the president and CEO, for her honesty.
Now look, the MHCC does not definitely is focusing on these problems which is the real cr in Canada.
In keeping with her stigma argument, Ms Bradley argued that this lack of resources also results from stigma.
Governments, she said, stigmatize mental illness and this stigma prevent us from making the right investments. Access to services is really a big problem. Her honesty was refreshing in that she said I will really like to say yes, And so it’s dramatically better but I can’t say that. Certainly, what actually is the feeling of encouraging people to come forth with their illness if we can do nothing to when it boils down to the serious mental illnesses of schizophrenia. Furthermore, if you do not know what causes these conditions after that, how do you prevent them? With all that said… Now look, the other topic that was disconcerting was about the MHCC emphasis on prevention of mental illness.
And that’s what Steve asked.
