La COVID-19 a mis la santé mentale de tous les Canadiens, mais surtout des enfants, au premier plan de nos préoccupations.
 
À l'occasion de #BellCause, j'ai pensé partager quelques unes des choses que je fais pour soutenir la santé mentale de mes enfants :👇🏾🧵
Parlez des émotions : reconnaître et valider leurs pensées et leurs sentiments. Voici quelques activités d'apprentissage socio-émotionnel : smho-smso.ca/blog/12-activi…
Pratiquez l'écoute active : être présent et écouter attentivement. Voici quelques conseils utiles tirés de @CMHA_NTL mentalhealthweek.ca/fr/lart-decout…
Restez en contact : passez du temps de qualité ensemble, et encouragez la rédaction de lettres et l'envoi de courrier à votre famille et à vos amis. Vous trouverez d'autres idées ici à @jeunessejecoute : jeunessejecoute.ca/simpliquer/res…
En cas de doute, adressez-vous à des professionnels de la santé ou consultez des experts. Pour plus d'idées et de ressources, consultez le site : canada.ca/fr/sante-publi…

1/ La haine a des conséquences !

Le #29janvier 2017 était une soirée ordinaire pour la congrégation de Québec qui se rendait à sa mosquée locale pour la prière du soir, mais n’a plus jamais pu revoir leurs familles après un acte de terreur insensé.

C'était de l'islamophobie. Image
2/ Chaque année, en ce jour, nous devons nous souvenir de leurs noms et des familles qui ne les ont jamais vus revenir :

Ibrahima Barry
Azzedine Soufiane
Khaled Belkacemi
Aboubaker Thabti
Abdelkrim Hassane
Mamadou Tanou Barry Image
3/ Des mains froides mais des cœurs unis ensemble.

Je me souviens qu'il y a quatre ans, nous avons vu des Canadiens se rassembler sur les marches de la colline du Parlement pour faire leur deuil ensemble. Image

1/ Hatred has consequences!

#January29, 2017 was an ordinary evening for the congregation in Quebec City who went to their local mosque for the evening prayer, never to return to their families after a senseless act of terror.

This was Islamophobia. Image
2/ Every year on this day, we must remember their names and the families who never saw them return:

Ibrahima Barry
Azzedine Soufiane
Khaled Belkacemi
Aboubaker Thabti
Abdelkrim Hassane
Mamadou Tanou Barry Image
3/ Cold hands but warm hearts united together.

I think back to four years ago how we saw Canadians come together on the steps of Parliament Hill to mourn together. Image

Il y a 5 ans, lors de l'une des pires crises de réfugiés au monde, le 🇨🇦 a pris des mesures pour aider 73 000 réfugiés syriens.

Cela ne s'est pas fait tout seul; il a fallu du leadership👇🏾
Nous n'avons pas accompli cela seuls; cela n'a été possible que grâce à la générosité des 🇨🇦.

Ils ont ouvert leurs portes et leurs cœurs du Cap Breton, à Montréal, à Mississauga, à Altona, à Calgary, à Kelowna. Nous avons vu le pays agit ensemble. 👏🏾
Je n'oublierai jamais la jeune fille qui s'est effondrée et m'a remercié à #Saskatoon lors d'un camp d'été, organisé par International Women of Saskatoon, qui m'a dit qu'elle se sentait enfin en sécurité dans son nouveau chez-soi.

5 years ago during one of the world's worst refugee crisis, 🇨🇦 stepped up to resettle 73K Syrian refugees. 

This didn't happen by itself, it took leadership👇🏾

Thread:
Our Govt did not accomplish this on our own, it was only made possible b/c of the generosity of Canadians in 350+ communities. 🇨🇦 

They opened their homes & hearts from Cape Breton, to Montreal, to Mississauga, to Altona, to Calgary, to Kelowna. We saw the country step up. 👏🏾
I will never forget the young girl who broke down and embraced me in #Saskatoon at a summer camp, hosted by the International Women of Saskatoon, who told me she finally felt safe in her new home.

Anti-black racism does not stop at the border.

I have heard from people who have said that we should not worry about what is happening in the US because that is not our problem.

As a Black man & a father of 3 young boys, I can tell you it is a lived reality for Black Canadians.
Racism and hatred have consequences.

We must continue to call out hate and injustice, and to look inward to see the impact of systemic discrimination and anti-black racism in our country.
I continue to ask all Canadians to step up. Raise your voices & ensure that real inclusion accompanies the diversity of our country.

Government alone can’t change the system but we will continue to work hard.
