Every Mind Matters: The Many Dimensions of Mental Illness
The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?

Material evaluation plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of your roof during the roof inspection process. This systematic assessment helps identify potential issues before they escalate, ensuring the longevity of your roofing materials. Inspectors thoroughly examine roofing materials, such as asphalt shingles, metal, and tiles, looking for signs of storm damage or wear and tear that could compromise the roof's performance.
Homeowners can safeguard their investments and maintain a safe shelter by prioritizing material evaluation during roof inspections. Understanding the conditions of your roofing materials enables proactive maintenance, thereby enhancing the lifespan of your roof and protecting your property from the elements.
Understanding Roof Material Evaluation
Understanding roof material evaluation is crucial for maintaining a home or building's integrity and longevity. This process involves analyzing various roofing materials to determine their performance, durability, and suitability for different environmental conditions.
A professional roof inspection provides valuable insights into signs of damage and helps homeowners and building managers make informed decisions about repairs, replacements, or upgrades. By comprehensively evaluating the materials used in a roof, potential issues can be identified early on, ensuring that the structure remains sound and safe.
The inspection results are often summarized in a detailed report, which guides homeowners or building owners in investing in the best materials for their specific needs, enhancing their properties' overall protection and energy efficiency.
Common Roofing Materials
When it comes to roofing, selecting a suitable material is crucial for durability and aesthetic appeal. Common roofing materials like asphalt shingles, metal roofs, clay tiles, and slate each offer unique characteristics that significantly influence the overall health of a roofing system.
- Asphalt shingles are famous for their affordability and easy installation. They typically last 15 to 30 years but may succumb to curling and granule loss.
- Metal roofs are known for longevity, often exceeding 50 years, and resistance to extreme weather, but improper installation can lead to leaks.
- Clay tiles provide a classic look and can last over a century, although their weight requires a solid understructure to prevent cracking.
- Slate is one of the most durable materials available, with lifespans exceeding 100 years, but it demands a higher initial investment and specialized installation.
Evaluating the performance and condition of these roofing materials is essential; issues such as curling, cracking, or leakage can detract from their lifespan and overall integrity, underscoring the importance of consulting a roofing professional for thorough material evaluation during roof inspections.
Why Material Evaluation is Crucial
Rigorous inspections of materials such as shingles and metal are essential to identify roofing issues, including loose components, corrosion, or structural issues that could compromise performance.
Beyond assessing visible damage, a comprehensive material evaluation incorporates a sampling process to uncover critical components like moisture levels and aging conditions. Modern technology, such as infrared technology, can accurately assess hidden problems. This is particularly significant when the roof's installation history is uncertain, as undiscovered weaknesses could lead to costly repairs or replacements.
Ensuring your roof meets the building code requirements also helps prevent safety and functionality issues. By prioritizing material evaluation, homeowners and building owners can ensure their roofs remain resilient and functional, extending their lifespan and enhancing overall property value.
Key Steps in Evaluating Roof Materials During Inspection
Roof material evaluation during inspections serves as a fundamental process for homeowners and building owners who seek to assess the condition and suitability of their roofing system. This evaluation identifies existing issues and highlights the benefits of various materials, enabling informed decision-making when repairs or replacements are necessary. By engaging roofing contractors for professional inspections, homeowners can ensure they're choosing the best options for their needs, budget, and long-term durability.
Visual Inspection of Roofing Materials
This process involves assessing various essential components, such as shingles, metal plates, clay, or slate, for obvious signs of damage and wear that can affect their overall lifespan. Inspectors look for common issues like curled edges, cracks, loss of granules, and moss buildup, which can indicate deterioration.
Additionally, they check for signs of leaks and moisture buildup, which can result from inadequate ventilation or proper insulation. By identifying these problems early, homeowners can take proactive measures to extend the life of their roofing system.
Advanced technology, such as infrared scanners and drones, is increasingly being utilized to enhance the accuracy and thoroughness of damage assessment. These tools provide a detailed view of the roof's condition, including hard-to-reach areas, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation that traditional methods might miss.
Assessing Material Durability
Assessing the condition of roofing materials is crucial to maintaining a building's integrity. Various factors, including harsh weather, the age of the materials, and overall material integrity, can significantly impact a roof's performance.
Regular material inspection plays a vital role in identifying potential weaknesses and ensuring that the roofing system remains effective, particularly for complex roofs. Issues like cracks, missing pieces, and visible signs of wear and tear compromise the aesthetic appeal and can lead to future issues if left unaddressed.
By understanding the importance of comprehensive roof inspections and promptly addressing any concerns, homeowners and building owners can protect their investments and ensure the longevity of their roofs, ultimately contributing to safer and more resilient structures.
Common Issues Identified During Material Evaluation
Several common issues can significantly impact a roof's integrity during material inspection evaluation. Loose shingles are frequently found, and if not secured promptly, they can lead to leaks and allow moisture to infiltrate the underlying structure. Signs of corrosion, particularly around metal components, are another critical issue that poses a risk of structural damage.
A careful assessment of wear around roofing equipment, including vents and chimneys, is often overlooked, yet it can create pathways for water intrusion. Inspecting flashings is essential, as deterioration in this area may result in leaks and provide entry points for pests, leading to further complications.
Additionally, staining from rust, moss growth, and water damage can indicate underlying problems that, if neglected, may escalate into more significant issues. These obvious issues and potential repairs should be included in a comprehensive inspection report, highlighting the importance of regular inspections to ensure the longevity and safety of roofing systems.
Solutions and Recommendations Based on Material Evaluation
Evaluating materials during a proper roof inspection is crucial in identifying and addressing issues that could lead to further damage or a compromised roof. After a comprehensive assessment, various solutions and recommendations can be developed based on the roofing materials.
If curling or cracking is evident in asphalt shingles, immediate patching or full shingle replacement is recommended to prevent leaks. Metal roofs, while durable, may show signs of rust or loose panels; applying protective coatings and securing loose areas are effective solutions. For tile roofs with cracked or missing tiles, timely replacement is essential to maintain structural integrity and prevent water infiltration.
By promptly addressing minor issues, homeowners can enhance the longevity of their roofs and avoid expensive repairs in the future. Whether reinforcing, repairing, or replacing roofing materials, timely inspections and actions lead to more sustainable roofing solutions.

Peace negotiations between the rival forces of Sudan have ended in dismal failure, despite the commitments made in the Jeddah Declaration to protect and prioritize the citizens of Sudan
Sudan looks to be decaying as a result of the hands of conflict. Despite the numerous attempts made by both civil war parties to alleviate the situation, the country remains torn apart.
Sudan's opposing factions agreed on Thursday to sign a proclamation on Friday promising to protect the people of the state. The move was intended to be taken for humanitarian reasons.
Both factions promised to monitor their operations, allow for the safe delivery of humanitarian aid, restore critical services, and withdraw their forces from hospitals and clinics.
“We agree that the interests and well-being of the Sudanese people are our top priority and affirm our commitment to ensure that civilians are protected at all times. This includes allowing safe passage for civilians to leave areas of active hostilities on a voluntary basis, in the direction they choose.”, was said by the civil war parties in Jeddah's declaration of commitment, according to Sudan Tribune.
Despite both parties' grandiose commitments, civilians paint a different story. Residents of the capital city have reportedly claimed that the fighting has intensified in recent days.
"It’s not even safe inside your own house.” said Mohamed Abdulwahab, a Twitter handler.

THE JOHNSON COLLECTION - A Private Collection for Public Good
thejohnsoncollection.org/the-collection/
Sharing the art it stewards with communities across the country is The Johnson Collection’s essential purpose and propels our daily work. Much more than a physical place, TJC seeks to be a presence in American art, prioritizing access over location. Since 2013, the collection’s touring exhibitions have been loaned twenty-five times, placed without fee in partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.2 million visitors. In its showcase of over 1,000 objects, TJC’s website functions as a digital museum, available anywhere and anytime.
What began as an interest in paintings by Carolina artists in 2002 has grown to encompass over 1,400 objects with provenances that span the centuries and chronicle the cultural evolution of the American South.
Today, The Johnson Collection counts iconic masterworks among its holdings, as well as representative pieces by an astonishing depth and breadth of artists, native and visiting, whose lives and legacies form the foundation of Southern art history. From William D. Washington’s The Burial of Latané to Malvin Gray Johnson’s Roll Jordan Roll, the collection embraces the region’s rich history and confronts its complexities, past and present.
.The contributions of women artists, ranging from Helen Turner—only the fourth woman elected to full membership in the National Academy of Design in 1921—to Alma Thomas—the first African American woman to have a solo exhibition at a major national museum in 1972—are accorded overdue attention, most notably in TJC's most recent publication and companion exhibition, Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection. Landmark works by American artists of African descent such as Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Leo Twiggs, and Hale Woodruff pay homage to their makers' barrier-defying accomplishments. Modern paintings, prints, collages, and sculpture created by internationally renowned artists associated with the experimental arts enclave of Black Mountain College, including Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ilya Bolotowsky, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Robert Rauschenberg highlight the North Carolina school's geographic proximity to the collection's home.
Hailed by The Magazine Antiques as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," The Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. To that end, the collection's ambitious publication and exhibition strategies extend far beyond a single city's limit or a territorial divide.
Since 2012, TJC has produced four significant scholarly books—thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated investigations of Southern art time periods, artists, and themes: Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South (2012); From New York to Nebo: The Artistic Journey of Eugene Thomason (2014); Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection (2015); and Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection (2018). These volumes are accompanied by traveling exhibitions that have been loaned without fee to partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors.
Smaller curated presentations rotate at the collection's hometown exhibition space, TJC Gallery. Individual objects are regularly made available for critical exhibitions such as La Biennale di Venezia, Afro-Atlantic Histories, Outliers and American Vanguard Art, Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College, 1933-1957, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful, Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition, and Bold, Cautious, True: Walt Whitman and American Art of the Civil War Era and featured in important publications and catalogues, including The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Art & Architecture, and The Civil War and American Art.
In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored The Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction. The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive Officer

Alberta’s Minister of Education and Childcare Demetrios Nicolaides introduced, in Edmonton on Monday, November 3, 2025, legislation to update the Education Act.
Alberta’s classrooms are becoming increasingly complex, as more students join classrooms across the province with a range of learning needs, behavioral challenges and language barriers. Spotting these complex learning needs or struggles with reading and math early helps ensure every child receives the support they need to succeed.
To meet this challenge head on, Alberta’s government is proposing amendments to the Education Act that will prioritize reading and math screeners and ensure students that need extra help get the attention they need as early as possible. The amendments would require school boards and independent early childhood services (ECS) operators to:
- Conduct reading and math screenings for all students in kindergarten to Grade 3.
- Share screening results with parents to keep families informed and involved.
- Provide screening data to the department and make results available to the Ministry of Education and Childcare.

The consumer-led push to create “smart home” systems, which prioritize energy efficiency and savings alongside increased convenience for home or building owners, is opening up new possibilities in energy management. As technology developers build home and office solutions for energy-savvy consumers, they continue to create better models for reducing the energy that our buildings consume. Both consumers and the environment benefit.
But how exactly do smart building systems enable better energy management? After all, dozens of interconnected devices (all requiring power) sound like they would need more energy, not less. Let’s take a look at how new technologies are working to make our homes and offices smarter, more efficient, and more convenient.
It Starts with the Grid
While some solar consumers are able to completely remove themselves from the grid (and the utility companies) through solar-plus-storage solutions, most of us still rely on this outdated and inefficient infrastructure for at least some of our power. However, Internet of Things (IoT) technology is providing new ways to increase grid performance.
On the blog at the SAS Institute, a leading analytics firm, Alyssa Farrell writes that “IoT is aligned with three key trends in energy: digitization, decentralization and disruption.” Through digitization, interconnected sensors placed at key points in the grid are able to detect areas of energy loss and even prevent problems (such as power surges) that lead to less efficient operation. IoT solutions also enable distributed generation through solar or wind-generated power systems paired with batteries, which lessen demand on the grid as a whole.
The disruption of the utility monopoly system that IoT and solar providers have begun requires utilities to compete with independent power generators, and consumers are becoming smarter about how they source and consume power.
Powering Green Buildings
The Internet of Things has found a natural ally in the green building movement - a push towards creating structures that prioritize energy efficiency and a minimal impact on their environment. ProudGreenBuilding notes that “The most important impact that IoT has on buildings is energy efficiency. The use of networked sensors helps in providing information that would help managers to control their assets better and also reduce harmful waste in the environment.”
These sensors serve a variety of functions, collecting data about temperature, light, appliance usage, weather forecasts, and more, alongside empowering building owners or managers to remotely adjust everything from lighting to HVAC settings or automate the building completely. A study from the Consumer Technology Association found that just implementing temperature and lighting controls (only the basic components of a full IoT system) can save consumers 10% on their monthly energy expenses. Fully interconnected, automated homes or offices offer the possibility of even greater savings.
The Energy Management Puzzle
For decades, energy-conscious homeowners have tried their best to cut back on energy use by turning off lights in empty rooms or adjusting the thermostat before leaving the house. But no amount of human effort can match the ability of interconnected devices and sensors to collect data and manage themselves. And, as Solar Industry Magazine points out, “There’s the potential for home IoT devices to bridge the gap not just in areas where we’re forgetful about energy use, but where we can’t even see it.”
Connected home systems that include our water heaters, HVAC systems, refrigerators, and more are able to communicate with each other about where power is needed at any given time and adjust to keep a building’s energy usage below certain levels. They can even interface with external temperature or light sensors to determine the best time to cycle appliances on and off. These capabilities have a major impact on a solar power system’s ability to provide all the energy that is needed.
IoT has major implications for the solar industry, but the relationship between these technologies benefits them both. Solar installations, for example, enable IoT systems in remote locations and empower data collection in previously unreachable areas. Together, these technologies will continue to reshape how we generate and consume power.
Are you ready to consider how a solar smart home system could reduce your energy use and impact your energy costs? Contact Solar Design Studio today to learn more about our comprehensive suite of solar consultation, engineering, and implementation.

Landmark works by American artists of African descent such as Benny Andrews, Romare Bearden, Elizabeth Catlett, Aaron Douglas, William H. Johnson, Leo Twiggs, and Hale Woodruff pay homage to their makers' barrier-defying accomplishments. Modern paintings, prints, collages, and sculpture created by internationally renowned artists associated with the experimental arts enclave of Black Mountain College, including Josef Albers, Ruth Asawa, Ilya Bolotowsky, Elaine de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Kenneth Noland, and Robert Rauschenberg highlight the North Carolina school's geographic proximity to the collection's home.
Hailed by The Magazine Antiques as having staged a "quiet art historical revolution" and expanding "the meaning of regional," The Johnson Collection heralds the pivotal role that art of the South plays in the national narrative. To that end, the collection's ambitious publication and exhibition strategies extend far beyond a single city's limit or a territorial divide.
Since 2012, TJC has produced four significant scholarly books—thoroughly researched and beautifully illustrated investigations of Southern art time periods, artists, and themes: Romantic Spirits: Nineteenth Century Paintings of the South (2012); From New York to Nebo: The Artistic Journey of Eugene Thomason (2014); Scenic Impressions: Southern Interpretations from the Johnson Collection (2015); and Central to Their Lives: Southern Women Artists in the Johnson Collection (2018). These volumes are accompanied by traveling exhibitions that have been loaned without fee to partner museums with a combined annual attendance of over 1.7 million visitors.
Smaller curated presentations rotate at the collection's hometown exhibition space, TJC Gallery. Individual objects are regularly made available for critical exhibitions such as La Biennale di Venezia, Afro-Atlantic Histories, Outliers and American Vanguard Art, Leap Before You Look: Black Mountain College, 1933-1957, Alma W. Thomas: Everything is Beautiful, Riffs and Relations: African American Artists and the European Modernist Tradition, and Bold, Cautious, True: Walt Whitman and American Art of the Civil War Era and featured in important publications and catalogues, including The New Encyclopedia of Southern Culture: Art & Architecture, and The Civil War and American Art.
In 2016, the state of South Carolina honored The Johnson Collection with the Governor’s Award for the Arts, its highest arts distinction. The commendation paid tribute to the Johnson family's enduring contributions: "Equally dedicated to arts advancement and arts accessibility, the Johnsons generously share their vision, energy, passion and resources to benefit the arts in South Carolina."
"Who can say what ignites a passion? Was it those three red roses frozen in blue? An awakened connection to one's geographical roots? Perhaps the familiarity of the road to Nebo? The nucleus of what was to become our collection was formed by such seemingly unrelated catalysts. Looking back, it was always the sense of place that drew George and me to beautiful pictures—pictures that capture not only the glorious landscape of the South, but that also enliven its unique culture and dynamic history." ~Susu Johnson, Chief Executive Officer.'

Climate change is a defining threat of the 21st century, bringing irreversible losses to communities, livelihoods and the environment. The Asia-Pacific region, in particular, is the hardest hit by climate change and faces impacts well above the global average.
Despite the region’s exposure to climate risks, it is also positioned to benefit from the global shift towards net-zero transitions. Advancing this transition for climate action required collaborative efforts, targeted policies and inclusive approaches that prioritize the needs of all communities.
Under the EmPower: Women for Climate Resilient Societies (EmPower) Programme, UN Women and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) co-organized the regional cross-learning workshop "Delivering Solutions: Accelerating Gender-Responsive Climate Action in Asia and the Pacific" from 3-5 March 2025 that provides a collaborative platform for regional stakeholders, such as government representatives and development partners, to engage in meaningful dialogue and share experiences in advancing climate action across the Asia-Pacific region.

A With the introduction of CSS, web designers were able to create more complex layouts and styles. It leads revolution in web designing and development. But the evolution didn't stop there. As technology continued to advance, so did web design, with the introduction of responsive design, parallax scrolling, and other cutting-edge techniques. Today, web design is more important than ever, with businesses relying on their online presence to connect with customers and drive sales. Here we'll take a look at the evolution of web design and how it has changed the way we interact with the internet.
Digital Computer Classes
The Early Days of Web Design with HTML
In the early days of the internet, web design was limited to basic HTML pages. These pages were simple and plain, with little to no styling or design elements. The focus was on delivering content rather than aesthetics. Designers had to rely on tables and inline styles to create any kind of layout or styling, which was a tedious and time-consuming process.
However, as the internet began to grow in popularity, the need for more dynamic and visually appealing websites became apparent. This led to the introduction of CSS, which allowed designers to separate content from presentation and create more complex layouts and styles.
CSS made it possible to design websites that were more visually appealing and easier to navigate. It also made it easier to maintain and update the design of a website.
Responsive Web Design and Mobile-First Approach
As the use of mobile devices became more prevalent, web designers faced a new challenge: how to create websites that were optimized for mobile devices. This led to the development of responsive web design, which allows websites to adapt to the screen size of the device they are viewed on.
Responsive web design has become the norm for web design, with most websites being designed with a mobile-first approach. This means that the design is optimized for mobile devices first, and then scaled up for larger screens.
Responsive web design has made it possible for websites to be accessed from any device, regardless of the screen size, without sacrificing the user experience. It has also made it easier for web designers to create websites that are optimized for all devices.
The Rise of User-Centered Design and UX/UI
With the increasing importance of user experience (UX) and user interface (UI) design, web designers have shifted their focus to creating websites that are user-centered. User-centered design puts the user at the centre of the design process, with the goal of creating websites that are easy to use and navigate.
UX/UI design has become an integral part of web design, with designers using a variety of tools and techniques to create websites that are intuitive and user-friendly. This includes using user personas, wireframes, and prototypes to test and refine the design before development.
The rise of UX/UI design has also led to the development of new design trends, such as flat design and material design, which focus on simplicity and clarity. These design trends prioritize user experience over aesthetics, making it easier for users to navigate and interact with websites.
The Impact of JavaScript on Web Design
JavaScript has become an essential tool for web designers, allowing them to create dynamic and interactive websites. JavaScript is used to create animations, add interactivity to forms, and create responsive designs.
JavaScript frameworks, such as React and Angular, have made it easier for web designers to create complex web applications. These frameworks provide a set of tools and components that can be used to create reusable code, making development faster and more efficient.
JavaScript has also made it possible to create single-page applications (SPAs), which load all content dynamically without the need for page refreshes. SPAs provide a more seamless and engaging user experience, as users can navigate through the website without having to wait for pages to load.
The Role of Frameworks and Libraries
Web designers have become increasingly reliant on frameworks and libraries to streamline the web development process. Frameworks, such as Bootstrap and Foundation, provide a set of pre-designed components that can be used to create a website quickly and efficiently.
Libraries, such as jQuery and React, provide a set of pre-written code that can be used to add functionality to a website. This makes it easier for web designers to create complex web applications without having to write code from scratch.
However, the use of frameworks and libraries has also led to a lack of originality in web design. Many websites now use the same pre-designed components and templates, making it difficult to create a unique and memorable website.
The Emergence of AI in Web Design
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize web design, with the ability to automate many aspects of the design process. AI can be used to analyze user behavior and preferences, and create personalized experiences for each user.
AI can also be used to generate design elements, such as colour schemes and typography, based on user preferences. This can save web designers time and effort, allowing them to focus on more creative aspects of web design.
However, the use of AI in web design also raises ethical concerns, such as the potential for bias and the loss of human creativity. It is important for web designers to use AI responsibly and ethically, and to ensure that the human element of web design is not lost.
The Future of Web Design
The future of web design is likely to be shaped by new technologies, such as virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). These technologies have the potential to create immersive and engaging user experiences, blurring the lines between the physical and digital worlds.
The use of AI is also likely to become more prevalent in web design, with the ability to create personalized and adaptive websites for each user. However, it is important for web designers to balance the use of AI with the human element of web design, ensuring that creativity and originality are not lost .As technology continues to advance, web design will continue to evolve, creating new opportunities and challenges for web designers. It is important for web designers to stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies, and to continue to push the boundaries of web design.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith and Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services Mike Ellis announced, in Edmonton on March 25, 2026, new action to strengthen supervision of repeat offenders and protect Albertans from dangerous criminals.
The electronic monitoring program is expanding to strengthen supervision of repeat offenders and give victims real-time alerts when their safety may be at risk.
Budget 2026 invests $4.1 million over three years to activate new victim notification capabilities and expand the program across the province. Participating victims will receive immediate alerts if an offender breaches a court-ordered boundary, enters a restricted area or comes near their location. This expansion puts victims first and strengthens enforcement of court-ordered conditions.
The program provides 24-7 round-the-clock supervision of offenders subject to court-ordered conditions. Offenders are required to wear a GPS tracking device monitored by Alberta Correctional Services. The program enforces court-ordered inclusion and exclusion zones, helping keep offenders away from victims’ homes, workplaces and other protected locations.

Every Mind Matters: The Many Dimensions of Mental Illness
The Hill brings together lawmakers, mental health experts, and advocates to discuss these questions and more and explore why prioritizing mental health is intrinsically linked to good health overall.
The United States is facing an unprecedented mental health crisis as two in five American adults reported experiencing symptoms of anxiety and depression in 2021. Fortunately, the country has witnessed a positive sea change in recognizing the importance of mental health and self-care in recent years, but significant work still remains to create a system that recognizes the nuances and needs of those with mental illness.
Schizophrenia, major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disease, and post-traumatic stress disorder are just some of the many conditions affecting the 1 in 20 Americans experiencing serious mental illness today. The generalization of these disorders extends beyond everyday vernacular as one-size-fits-all policies, drugs and treatments continue to fail patients. Even when services are available, barriers like cost, cultural bias, and inconvenience often prevent people from accessing the care they need.
How can we break down the stigma associated with mental illness? How can we build a comprehensive care system to support all individuals affected by it?
