THINKING OUT LOUD WITH SHELDON MacLEOD: Mental health, grief and Portapique one year later
This is a difficult day and weekend for our province as we mark one year since the Portapique tragedy. Sheldon MacLeod had a conversation with Alec Stratford, executive director of the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers, and Serena Lewis, a social worker, who are both advocating for grief literacy.
Free mental health services are also being offered to people who have been affected by the events in Portapique one year ago.
