Third annual Pulling Together for Mental Health raises over $125K for veterans, first responders
All of the money goes to Wounded Warriors Canada, and is dedicated back to the city through the services they deliver.
Mental health organisations have "failed to acknowledge" the risk of violence from a minority of people with severe mental illnesses, according to Dr Sarah Hughes, chief executive of Mind. This warning comes ahead of the closure of the inquiry into the Nottingham attacks, where three people were fatally stabbed by Valdo Calocane, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia.
Hughes stated that mental health charities have shied away from discussing this risk due to stigma and harassment concerns surrounding people with mental health conditions. Calocane had a history of violent incidents before the attacks, repeatedly refused medication, and was sectioned four times in two years. His mother described the mental health system as "so broken".
