Dr Ariel spoke on Global News Morning on International Women’s Day. She talked about how women’s mental health issues have exploded in recent times and how important it is for women to get mental health support and care to address their needs.

For women who have trouble taking care of their own needs, we like to use the airplane analogy; flight attendants always tell passengers to put their own oxygen masks on before they can help anyone around them. The same goes for women–get help for yourself first.
