    Open AccessHamer Bastidas-Bilbao, Vicky Stergiopoulos et al.ARTICLESocial Science & Medicine2023Referências: 39

    Medical assistance in dying (MAiD) was introduced into Canadian legislation in 2016. Mental illness as the sole underlying medical condition (MI-SUMC) is excluded from eligibility; this is expected to change in 2024.

Few studies have explored the views of persons with mental illness on the intro…

We summarize evidence addressing the need for safe and culturally-informed clinical responses to child maltreatment and IPV, focusing on mental health settings. This considers clinical features of child…

Three themes are explored: social distancing; experiences of violen…
