🇨🇦 I'm a Mental Health Clinician in private practice and a Registered Social Worker. I specialize in treating PTSD and Trauma. I was contracted to provide this support. Unfortunately, #BC and #NorthernHealth try to limit access to #Professionals like me, especially for smaller places like #Tumbler
🇨🇦 All #Northern #BC residents could have access to #RegulatedMentalHealthProfessionals except that #NorthernHealth refuses to refer patients to the #RegisteredSocialWorkers who are funded to provide these services.

🇨🇦 #Regulated #AlliedHealthProfessionals like #RegisteredSocialWorkers, #Chiropractors and #Physiotherapists can greatly reduce demand for services from #Doctors, #Nurses and #NursePractitioners, but #NorthernHealth refuses to even refer patients to us even when our services are BC funded.

Northern Health exemplifies commitment to settler-Indigenous collaboration on traditional foods. Shelly Crack, Tessie Harris RD, Jenny Cross, and Margaret Edgars herself joined the first Nourish cohort back in 2017, deeply committed to expanding access to traditional food for community members on Haida Gwaii. The team honours Haida wisdom and culture by holding it as the central guiding force of their efforts, which include navigating colonial mindsets and policies around food safety, to ensure elders and patients had access to salmon, oolican, berries and the culture that supports their healing while they are in care. For their deep commitment to doing work around valuing Indigenous knowledge and carrying out Margaret’s vision of food as love and food as medicine, we recognize the remarkable team at Northern Health.
Congratulations ✨ Northern Health - BC ✨ winner of the 2025 Margaret Edgars Reconciliation Award - Organization/Team at #NourishSymposium2025. This award honours those advancing Indigenous foodways in community & health care, honouring the importance of putting the love in food. 🍓💜 #NorthernHealth

@josieosborne.bsky.social thanks again, we still, a town of 2500 in the middle of heavy industry STILL without a local reliable emergency room.
The absolute dehumanizing way that our community has been treated by #northernhealth is astonishing.

🇨🇦 Requiring #NorthernHealth to support and make referals to funded Mental Health Clinicians in Private Practice like me, will greatly benefit #NorthernBC communities with the most limited access to #MentalHealthServices and greatly reduce demand for emergency services.
