Resistance is not always loud.

Sometimes, it is simply the moment we stop accepting what we were taught to tolerate.

When silence protects harmful systems, speaking becomes an act of resistance. When inequality has been normalized for generations, questioning it becomes resistance. And when we refuse to make ourselves smaller to preserve someone else’s comfort, that too is resistance.

Change often begins with the courage to say: this can no longer remain unquestioned.

Co & Associates Commemorative Statement – National Truth and Reconciliation Day.

On this National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we honour the children who never returned home, the Survivors of residential schools, and the families and communities who continue to carry the weight of these injustices. Their pain and resilience remain at the heart of our nation’s truth.

At Co & Associates, our work is grounded in the belief that emotional and mental health is not meant to be an isolated journey — healing is strengthened through community, connection, and shared human experience. Today, we recognize that reconciliation requires us to listen deeply, to witness truth, and to commit ourselves to the ongoing work of justice and healing alongside Indigenous Peoples.

We acknowledge that reconciliation is not a single moment in time, but a collective responsibility that extends far beyond this day. As a practice, we are committed to fostering spaces of compassion, inclusion, and respect, where the truths of the past are honoured and the work of healing can continue.

On this day, and every day, we invite reflection, learning, and engagement with Indigenous voices and perspectives. May we walk this path together — with humility, courage, and a shared commitment to a future of equity and respect.

Women endure enough without also being asked to prove the harm they survived.

Too often, the burden falls on women to provide the evidence, remember every detail, defend their credibility, demonstrate their suffering—and then prove they are deserving of accountability and justice.

We are tired of having to prove an experience we already survived.

To every woman who understands: I believe you.

What if ADHD isn’t one brain working differently?

Emerging research is helping us understand why ADHD can look so different from one person to another.

A recent JAMA Psychiatry study identified three potential neurobiological ADHD “biotypes”:

1️⃣ ADHD + emotional dysregulation — greater difficulty managing emotions alongside ADHD symptoms.

2️⃣ Hyperactive/impulsive — greater difficulty with inhibition, impulsivity and hyperactivity.

3️⃣ Predominantly inattentive — greater difficulty sustaining attention, organizing and staying engaged.

These are not three new ADHD diagnoses and aren’t currently used to determine treatment. But the research reinforces an important message:

ADHD is not one-size-fits-all. Neither should support be.

Instead of asking, “Why can’t you just focus?” we can start asking:

“How does your ADHD show up—and what does your brain need to function well?”

💬 What do you wish more people understood about ADHD?
