A New Film by Aaron Gunn:
“Canada is Dying” with the Hope
of Therapeutic Community

 

As we let go of the old belief systems, that chaos within, our lack of self-love and self-worth, it is very apparent in our external environment, but also the hope a our new world.

Below is a film outlining issues in Canada from availability of “harm reduction” drugs called “safe supply” (nothing safe about them), to not enough treatment centres – therapeutic communities, to our law system allowing repeat offenders out on bail, to our prisons and recovery centres being revolving doors instead of a place to deeply mentally, emotionally, physically, spiritually heal and learn skills to navigate living in society.

This film illustrates how important it is to keep doing our inner balancing work so our outer reality reflects back to us as Love and worth, our Ascension, evolved society.

As Within So Without

Several years ago after volunteering at a therapeutic community weekly here, just outside of Vancouver, in Surrey (an hours’ drive from where I live) – John Volken Academy – I envisioned one for women, and for women with children, with added ideas, and put it on paper.

At the end of this film it shows how Alberta is building 10 therapeutic communities for people struggling with addiction, called the Alberta Model — a dream come true!

Thank you everyone involved! This is so much more!

YWCA Campaign Sheds Light
on ‘Invisible’ Crisis
of Concussions & Domestic Violence

 

When we think of concussions, we think of sports. Over the past decade, athletes and advocates have helped us understand the seriousness of concussions, leading to more research, new safety protocols and standards for sports-related concussion treatment.

A new campaign launched by the YWCA Metro Vancouver, in partnership with former NHL player Trevor Linden, says it estimates that for every NHL concussion, thousands of women in Canada suffer the same injury because of intimate partner violence.

It’s been five years since Rachel was violently abused and concussed by her ex-husband, but she still feels the effects of his assault today.

“The first 12 weeks were the worst, and then I had a relapse about six months later,” said Rachel, whose real name CBC is protecting for privacy and safety reasons.

“But at this point, I have some issues that are post-concussive syndrome that … don’t show any signs of improving,” she told The Current guest host Mark Kelley.

She says she has accommodations at work to help her through her day-to-day, special glasses to deal with light sensitivity, and was even able to see a neurologist to help her through recovery.

But while she’s grateful for the support, she wonders if earlier intervention would’ve helped her deal with her concussion better.
