In this pod, Marina and Valeria are back to talk about men’s mental health. They facilitated a candid discussion with their peers on vulnerability, reaching out, coping methods, and much more. I’d also like to add a content warning before you listen. They touch on the topic of suicide, so if this is a difficult subject for you, maybe skip this pod. Also, a quick reminder that there are mental health resources in the description, and to always reach out to your loved ones for help if needed (change some words if you’d like, this is more of a guideline).If you or a friend are struggling with your mental health or mental illness, check out the resources below:Ontario Resources: https://www.ontario.ca/page/find-mental-health-supportRyerson Center for Student Health and Wellness: https://www.ryerson.ca/mental-health-wellbeing/get_help/#tab-1552312232399-department-of-student-health---wellnessMeditation App: https://www.headspace.com/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=917256442&utm_content=51529949212&utm_term=409650401169&headspace&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8sq84JOl6wIVBbLICh1q5AS8EAAYASAAEgL2XvD_BwECBT App for Anxiety: https://www.anxietycanada.com/resources/mindshift-cbt/Crisis Resources from Ryerson: https://www.ryerson.ca/student-wellbeing/counselling/students/crisis/CAMH Crisis Resources: http://www.camh.ca/en/health-info/crisis-resourcesYoga with Adriene: https://www.youtube.com/user/yogawithadrieneResource for Men: https://headsupguys.org/Affordable, Online Counselling: https://inkblottherapy.com/https://www.skylarkyouth.org/what-we-do/programs-counselling-services/counselling-services/https://www.getmaple.ca/providers/psychotherapist-counselling/https://www.betterhelp.com/Academic Accommodations Support: https://www.ryerson.ca/accommodations/My SSP App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.onetapsolutions.morneau.myissp&hl=en_CAhttps://apps.apple.com/ca/app/my-ssp/id1112006222For a referral to OHIP covered therapy and psychiatry, talk to you family doctor about what you are going through. The referral process takes a while, but once you are in the system with a psychiatrist they can help you access many OHIP covered resources, prescribe you medication if needed, and sometimes provide therapy themselves.Note that if you are opted into healthcare insurance at Ryerson: “Students can access external counselling services using their RSU Health Plan, which covers up to $1000 per academic year (ie.
