Many have sought out professional counselling, called mental health crisis lines and taken part in surveys about mental well-being throughout the pandemic. The website of Toronto’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Canada’s largest mental health and addictions teaching hospital, states there is more than one kind of loss related to the pandemic. People may also be experiencing loss of a job, loss of social connection, academic loss, loss of or harm to relationships, loss of rituals and routines, loss of mental health supports, and loss experienced by health care providers.
