Have you noticed changes in mental health support since the pandemic? Canada's mental health crisis has worsened significantly, with 26% of Canadians now reporting poor or fair mental health compared to just 8.9% in 2019. Despite this growing need, mental health funding remains well below recommended levels, with provinces spending only 6.3% of health budgets on mental health, far short of the recommended 12%. The demand for mental health services is overwhelming, leading to increased emergency department visits and lengthy wait times for counseling and intensive treatment, especially affecting young adults and marginalized communities.

Patients, therapists, and the healthcare system are all under pressure. With young adults facing the highest unmet needs and a high burden falling on girls, young women, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities, the call for action at every level of government has never been more urgent.

Are we viewing burnout in the best light possible in healthcare? A recent opinion piece suggests that burnout should be seen as a powerful signal, encouraging healthcare workers to prioritize self-care and push for systemic change, rather than seeing it as just a pathology.

Research confirms that burnout is prevalent among healthcare providers, impairing cognitive functions and patient care quality. However, effective interventions show promising results. Meditation has reduced burnout symptoms by up to 42%, and ambient AI scribes have cut self-reported clinician burnout from 52% to 39%. Smartwatches also significantly decrease the odds of burnout in physicians.

These interventions hint at a brighter future, where burnout can be managed and reduced, improving the well-being of healthcare professionals and the quality of care they provide to patients.

How do you think the integration of GLP-1 therapies will change the landscape of obesity treatment in adults?

On December 1, 2025, the World Health Organization issued its first guideline conditionally recommending GLP-1 therapies for obesity treatment in adults, except for pregnant women. This marks a significant step, recognizing GLP-1 receptor agonists and GIP/GLP-1 dual agonists as part of comprehensive care that includes behavioral interventions. However, the WHO emphasizes that medication alone won’t reverse the obesity challenge, urging for multisectoral strategies to create healthier environments, early interventions, and equitable access to care.

With obesity affecting over 1 billion people globally, these new guidelines aim to integrate GLP-1 therapies into chronic care models, affecting not just patients but also pharmacists, primary care physicians, and therapists involved in diet and physical activity counseling. WHOs addition of these therapies to their Essential Medicines List for type 2 diabetes in high-risk groups further underscores their importance.

How do changes in government policies impact your research or clinical practice?

A recent Stat News article highlights a troubling trend affecting biomedical research. A new U.S. government keyword policy is limiting the identification and funding of vital research on s*x differences, gender, and diversity. Researchers argue this is hindering innovative work in biomedicine. The concern extends beyond academia, impacting mental health clinicians and platform-based providers tied to insurer-backed ventures. Platforms like Alma, Headway, and Rula are reshaping care incentives, with funding and administrative tactics like group claim submissions affecting clinical research priorities.

This situation might delay the translation of crucial research findings into practice, especially for DEI or s*x-difference research essential to patient care. The debate raises questions about transparency and the prioritization of research that directly impacts patients and providers alike.

How are ear and hearing care services integrated within your practice or health system?

The World Health Organization (WHO) is stepping up its efforts to improve ear and hearing care globally. On January 29, 2026, WHO will conduct a virtual strategic planning meeting with its network of collaborating centres and organizations. The aim of this gathering is to coordinate activities, share updates, and plan collaborations that will advance ear and hearing care services for the next two years.

With over 1.5 billion people experiencing some level of hearing decline in their lifetime, and at least 430 million needing rehabilitation, the importance of this initiative cannot be overstated. Over 60% of childhood hearing loss is preventable, which highlights the need for education and intervention, especially since about 90 million children aged 5–19 years live with hearing loss.

Participants include a diverse group of professionals and organizations such as universities, national hospitals, research centres, and NGOs. This meeting is particularly critical for health planners, audiologists, otolaryngologists, and public-health policymakers, along with educators and community health workers who play pivotal roles in integrating ear and hearing services into school and primary care programs.

We're eager to hear your thoughts on the impact of integrating comprehensive ear and hearing care within national health systems. Please share your thoughts in the comment section and follow us to stay updated with the latest healthcare and wellness news.
