The CPA recently sent a letter of support for Bill S-251, Nova Scotia Senator Stan Kutcher’s bill that would repeal Section 43 of the Criminal Code of Canada. It would make it illegal to hit children for any reason. This has been a very long, very arduous process and effort. Dr. Joan Durrant has been campaigning for this for more than 30 years, while dozens of other countries around the world have listened to the science and the evidence and have adopted this policy. She joins us on Mind Full today to talk about the science, the outcomes, and the need to ban corporal punishment in Canada once and for all.

Senator Kutcher is specifically requesting that letters be sent by postal mail to the following address (Postage is free to members of the Senate and House of Commons):

Embodiment is a recognition of the way your mind and body are connected - paying attention to the signals your body sends you can help a great deal. Dr. Julie Beaulac, Casey Berglund, and Courtney Amo have written a book on the subject, specifically for leaders and bringing embodiment to a leadership role. Dr. Beaulac and Casey sit down with Mind Full to tell us about it.

It's Be A Donor month in April, and we wanted to explore the factors that either encourage or discourage people from becoming organ donors. The vast majority of Canadians say they are in favour of organ donation, yet most are not organ donors. Why is this? And why doesn't an 'opt-out' option solve the problem? We spoke with Dr. Jake Crawshaw about this and more.

Reach out to Dr. Crawshaw directly on Twitter: @JakeECrawshaw
