Deep rooted [videorecording] : exploring the mental health crisis in Canadian agriculture / by Cronk, Lynn,on-screen participant.; Norman, Kole,on-screen participant.; Raymond, Chantal,on-screen participant.; Boersma, Darryl,on-screen participant.; Wickiam, Van,film producer.; McDonnell, Kyle,film director.; McIntyre Media,film distributor.;
Featuring: Lynn Cronk, Kole Norman, Chantal Raymond, Darryl Boersma.The film follows four agriculture producers in discussing their mental health and how it relates to farming. There are an immeasurable number of stressors facing farmers and ranchers across the country, from weather and climate change, through to succession planning and farming legacy. Through these four agriculture producers, we get a glimpse into how and why this crisis persists in the farming community. With the help of experts and researchers, Deep Rooted also explores farm culture and its relationship to mental health. Stigmatization around mental health; depression, anxiety, stress and even suicide, continues to be perpetuated in the agricultural community, only deepening the taboo nature of seeking mental health care. The harsh reality is that those working in the agriculture industry continue to be one of the most vulnerable and underserved populations in relation to their mental health. Deep Rooted seeks to connect with farmers and agriculture workers; to give them a voice and humanize their struggle to bring attention to a problem that continues to worsen.E.DVD.

Blind spots : when medicine gets it wrong, and what it means for our health / by Makary, Marty,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.More Americans have peanut allergies today than at any point in history. Why? In 2000, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a strict recommendation that parents avoid giving their children peanut products until they're three years old. Getting the science perfectly backward, triggering intolerance with lack of early exposure, the US now leads the world in peanut allergies-and this misinformation is still rearing its head today. How could the experts have gotten it so wrong? Dr. Marty Makary asks, Could it be that many modern-day health crises have been caused by the hubris of the medical establishment? Experts said for decades that opioids were not addictive, igniting the opioid crisis. They refused menopausal women hormone replacement therapy, causing unnecessary suffering. They demonized natural fat in foods, driving Americans to processed carbohydrates as obesity rates soared. They told citizens that there are no downsides to antibiotics and prescribed them liberally, causing a drug-resistant bacteria crisis. When modern medicine issues recommendations based on good scientific studies, it shines. Conversely, when modern medicine is interpreted through the harsh lens of opinion and edict, it can mold beliefs that harm patients and stunt research for decades. In Blind Spots, Dr. Makary explores the latest research on critical topics ranging from the microbiome to childbirth to nutrition and longevity and more, revealing the biggest blind spots of modern medicine and tackling the most urgent yet unsung issues in our $4.5 trillion health care ecosystem. The path to medical mishaps can be absurd, entertaining, and jaw-dropping-but the truth is essential to our health.

It must be beautiful to be finished : a memoir of my body / by Gies, Kate,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."When Kate Gies was four years old, a plastic surgeon pressed a synthetic ear to the right side of her head and pulled out a mirror. He told her he could make her "whole" -- could make her "right" -- and she believed him. From the age of four to thirteen, she underwent fourteen surgeries, including skin and bone grafts, to craft the appearance of an outer ear. Many of the surgeries failed, leaving permanent damage to her body. In short, lyrical vignettes, Kate writes about how her "disfigured" body was scrutinized, pathologized, and even weaponized. She describes the physical and psychic trauma of medical intervention, and its effects on her sense of self, first as a child needing to be fixed, and later, as a teenager and adult, navigating the complex expectations and dangers of being a woman. It Must Be Beautiful to Be Finished is the story of a girl desperately trying to have a body that makes her acceptable and of a woman learning to own a body she never felt was hers to define. In an age of speaking out about the abuse of marginalized bodies, this memoir takes a hard look at the medical system's role in body oppression and trauma"--
