Good morning. I'm at today's proceedings of the Mass Casualty Commission, the public inquiry into the mass murders of April 18/19, 2020. To avoid this thread, you can mute the hashtag #MCC
There are no new documents released by the #MCC, and no witnesses today. Instead, there is a roundtable discussion of "Needs of Family and Community After Mass Casualty Incidents"
Panelists are:
• Facilitator: Emma Cunliffe
• Grete Dyb, U of Oslo;
• Jaclyn Schildkraut, SUNY/ Oswego
• Mary Fetchet, Voices Center for Resilience
• Serena Lewis, Grief Consultant
• Megan McElheran, Wayfound Mental Health
• Terry Mitchell, Psychologist

Nova Scotia: public health may be a little longer getting in touch with people for the next few days. They are really and truly doing an amazing job but there is some trouble getting everything done quickly right now.
As Nova Scotians, we can help them and each other get this COVID-21 controlled.
Please don’t get frustrated, upset or angry. (Well, you can, it’s been a long year) BUT here are some ways to take control and be proactive!!

We NEED you NOW Nova Scotia!
1. If you have symptoms, don’t wait, not even a day! Get tested at a Nova Scotia Health authority testing site (NOT a pop up site!!). You are NOT putting a strain on the system. You are doing the right thing.

Since the tragic events in #NovaScotia I have been frequently asked how #parents can talk to their #children about this horrific situation. Here are some key considerations that may help. If you think that some of these can be valuable for others, please pass them on. Thread👇
Signal that you are open to talk. Ask what they have heard about. Ask how they are feeling. Validate their feelings (OK to share how you are feeling also). Correct false information. Take the time to listen. Don't text, email, do chores, etc. Listen with full attention.
Reassure that they are safe, that you, family, their friends and pets are safe. Clarify the level of probability – 1 out of 36 million people and once in over 155 years. This promotes cognitive processing.
More than ever, it’s important that we support each other and look after our mental health. @KidsHelpPhone is now providing phone and text support for adults, post-secondary students, and youth. #NovaScotiaStrong

1-As Nova Scotians, we are strong, we are community, we are friends, we are family....
2-We have endured tragedy, we have endured heartbreak, we have endured hardships, we have endured disasters...
3-We were raised by the sea, we were raised by the coal, we were raised with all that comes with living within this beautiful province..
