Listen "Resilience and our social contract"
Episode Synopsis
Pressure from a group of pediatricians has pushed the Nova Scotia Government to keep masking mandatory for kids in class for a few more weeks. That is in line with precautions for hospital and senior care facilities. But all other pandemic related public health measures are gone as of today, March 21st, 2022. Anecdotally, there are many people who are following the advice that masks are recommended, even if they are no longer mandated for use inside businesses and offices. But one professor at Dalhousie's School of Social Work says we need to move forward. Dr. Michael Ungar is the Canada Research Chair in Child, Family and Community Resilience. He's also the Director of the Resilience Research Centre and is a Scientific Director, Child and Youth Refugee Research Coalition at Dalhousie University. He shares his concerns over the harms that have come from the actions we've followed, even though they were justified in the scope of a global pandemic.
