Tonight, Veronica and Vi will be talking about Loss and Grief but with a focus on the Indigenous Peoples of Canada and the residential school system.

Just a brief overview. The Residential school system operated from the 1880s up to 1996 and was organized by the Canadian Government and was run by Churches. The idea was to educate Indigenous Children and assimilate them into “mainstream white Canadian society”*.  The children were removed by force from their families and placed in these schools where many of them were abused and killed.

There is a lot of information, so I’ve included all the resources and links for you to read and research. I ask that you take some time to read and understand the suffering, loss, grief, and trauma that the Indigenous Peoples of Canada have had to go through. Why? Because when we truly understand and acknowledge the truth, pain, and plight of those around us, we can be a positive force in helping people move forward and heal. 

Tonight’s episode is the last in our Let’s Talk series. We hope that we were able to open the door to a better understanding of mental health in the Vietnamese community. I would like to personally thank Veronica and Vi for their hard work and openness in creating this mini-series for the public. They were very kind to volunteer their time, skills, and knowledge to Vi Can Shine! and the community at large.

Tonight, Veronica will be sharing her personal experience with depression and her journey in discovering herself and finding her happiness.

Veronica is someone that just makes you smile and feel happy when you are around her.  She is a positive force in the world and she does her best to help those around her.

Currently, Veronica works at Watari Counselling & Support Services Society. She helps seniors with and without relatives, people on disability benefits, people struggling with addiction and mental health, people living in shelters and SRO (single room occupancy housing), and the homeless.

Veronica has talked about simple experiences that she would like to give to the people that she helps. Everyone needs a break from their situation from time to time. Most importantly, everyone needs a few happy moments in their lives to give them hope for better days.

With this in mind, I’ve started a GoFundMe to help Veronica bring one of her projects to fruition! Please check out the page for more details and share so that we can help Veronica bring more smiles into the world!

Tonight, Vi and Veronica will be talking about Depression and its different aspects. They’ll also talk about how people can help their family members suffering from depression.

Just some brief facts from CMHA to share. In Canada, in a year, 1 in 5 people will experience mental health problems and by age 40 about half of the population will have a personal experience with mental illness. Mental illness does not discriminate. It affects people of all ages, education, income levels, and culture.

The social stigma and the dismissiveness of mental health issues that exist within the Vietnamese community can sometimes force people to suffer in silence and not seek the help they need and exacerbate the problem even further. We hope that by openly talking about mental health and the struggles that people go through, we, as a community, can start to understand and, most importantly, be kinder and more supportive of those suffering from mental health issues.

If you are suffering and in crisis, please call your local crisis hotline. We’ve also listed resources for you or your family in our show notes.
