And so, we encounter a lot of emergencies thateed to be treated, and managed immediately. And that could be hurtnever seen before. And so, in centre here we have the opportunity to manage the emergencies and a safe environment we c practice can prt and do all of that in a space t is safe to make mistakes, but there is a huge divide between what we learned in textbook and actual clinical care in the hospital, we all went to healthcare because we care. And we want to help people, and every day we all want to be better. In it's a tool for us touild the skills, and that we can go back to the hospital, bring back to the hospital into the patien environment, into clinical care and be a little bit better about everything the time because w get to practice and work on that. >> Jennifer: may is mental health awareness month and with another busy wildfire season loomin university of victoria researcher says more action is to be taken tat she calls a missing piece of firefighting efforts for mental health. As berard is a phd candidate in the sociology department and joins us with more. Thank you for being here. >> Speaker: thanks so much for having me. >> Jennifer: are you taking look at the residence or the firefirs in particular? Or both? >> Speaker: my focus is action on resident so I've spoken to a little o in british columbia an terms of what the social impact of the wildfire disasters is what he emotional or mental health tool that these seasons take year after year. >> Jennifer: what have you found? >> Speaker: what I found is a lot of peoplere with me that there is a few different elements to . So on one hand if you've spent a lot of wealth there is a lot of grief that comes along with that you're losing your home, some property, maybe are a lot of different physical aspects of your community. So there is some grief there but also trauma as well. So people who with the case of lytton thad very little time to get out of their communi and so, there is a very traumatic event that happens, and then the days following a well. Whether you are two, three, 4 years for 5 years out it's very difficult to talk about that. And then for people who came to me and they may be had a short term evacun that they live in these areas where every year there is the fear or threat of wildfire around them than they are experiencingtened anxiety or heightened depression as well. >> Jennifer: no ing, how do you deal with that? Especially if you live in an area that might be more prone or could happen in. How do you prepare yours >> Speaker: let's think there' a bit of a gap that's where we can open up the conversation a little more so with my findings is excited to bring it back to people who are already doing the work so the government and other agencies as well. But I think there's an opportunity here to do local resources so maybeomething around community support groups, but also having conversations that we are right now are people exchanging these kinds of seasons with his normal that you're struggling, this is difficult if you've have this heightened anxiety during the summer months that it is something that we can stahe conversations with people around us and sharing that were feeling th way. >> Jenni you're gonna be speaking at the congress of humanities and social sciences that's coming up, I guess, what will you be ging up there? >> Speaker: essentially exactly this. I want to open the conversation, nt to connect more people around this topic, it so common that during the fire season it will focus on physical elements, we will talk about evacuation, preparedness, mitigation, those are so essent and important information but how do we may be bring in this compon as well and build more communication around mental health awareness. >> Jennifer: have you approach the government of the province of well or any help authorities or is at a conration for you? >> Speaker: defini, that's definitely the big steps that I want to take let's talk to people who are already inhis

and there have already been some feedback there thaople are interested in these findings, the ages that are involved in this also want to incorporate a consideration o mental health and preparing people and then also in the recovery stages as well. I'm really excited about the opportunity to further findings as well. >> Jennifer: fantastic thank you so much for sing time with us because it is a very real threat aor so many people in bc and right across nada, think you again for being here that is ashley berard and let's head over to k medos and see how our traffic is taping this morning, kelly. >> Kelly: yes, thank you so much jen.

Brian anderson, director of performance and fun times at science world co-curator of the exhibition. Thanks for joining us today. >> Speaker: thanks for having us. Ennifer: earth matters, why did you want to do that? >> Speaker: seen a lot of things in anxiety with climate change this is giving families and children in particular a optimistic look at solutions, here are things thatpening but all the great thinking going on to addre on with the climate. Su fun exhibit lots of things you can try and lots of things you can do to harness the kids creativity for their own solutions. >> Jennifer: this is why you're the director of fun times. I love it. You brought to experiment or two things which m >>aker: one thing we measure when looking at climate is gs like greenhouse gases, carbon dioxide, is very simple thing to try w the big pump over there still a big pumping regular air, I am going to be blowing which has a lot of carbon dioxide, it's g to change here so. >> Jennifer: yours is way more bubbly than mine, and the cr is changing. >> Speaker: it is because I blew through becausf the carbon dioxide is producing a chemical cator and changing colour there. So between this a very simple way to show that there is a higher concentration of carbon dioxide. >> Jennifer: is it going to go blue again. >>aker: generally what happened as it moves with and it's very similar chemical you have with a fish tank or a hot tub something. I'm thinking acid rain. >> Jenr: is it something that you will be demonstrating there? >> Speaker: this is a part of our regular show soon the science world we have a bunch of big demonstrations and exploding ings there are some of our regulars here. >> Speaker: these kiso beautifully with the exhibit these are actually coming to us from australia, and this is an australian c over and say hi there. One thing kids can do in the exhibit is design in habitats which is recycled materials you can find space e insects can have a little bit of a better hom >> Jennifer: girl boy ? As it ma? How can you tell? >> Speaker: the females are a bit wider than the male ones are a bit skinnier, room for a lot of the eggs there. He apparently gently tipping her hand over. >> Jennifer: I feel like I need a whisper I know I can really do a book, yeah, they claim they are very clingy. >> Speaker: but, yeah, and the exhibit there from ausia it's a beautiful immersivesection, like immersive then but you can be in an austra forest you can design your own solutions. >> Jennifer: what are we teaching here? >> Speaker: here we are looking at habito climate change, so how can change in ways that can make and support creatures. So in the exhibit, we have a insect hot and different species, you can use recycled cardboard, things like that. >> Jennifer: we can do th locally, and a good insects we can be looking for around here? >> Speaker: in bc we have species around here so not these ones in particular, but particularly were looking for pollinators. We haveup in june is pollinator week where we celebrate all thensects that keep our farms and gardens going. >> Jennifer: now besi these awesome things, are the kids and people up to touch the animals. >> Speaker: you can't touch my central will wee
