Critics Review
“After treating thousands of patients over his decades long career as a psychiatrist, Dr. David Goldbloom has not only seen it all, he has seen what works. He is transparent on the many failures of mental health care and access in Canada, and offers hope by showing a way forward with the innovative methods of treatment only now gaining traction. We Can Do Better is rooted in cutting edge supports that can greatly impact many who struggle. Goldbloom provides the hope that we need, now more than ever, to navigate the often confusing waters of mental health care.”
— CLARA HUGHES, O.C., O.M., six-time Olympic medalist and founding spokesperson of the Bell Let’s Talk mental health campaign
“Anyone who, like me, has experienced mental illness, whose family has been affected, or who works in this critical field (have I missed anyone?) should read this great book. David Goldbloom is putting his knowledge to work in an engaging, thoughtful, and personal way. Bless him for sharing his wisdom and talent in a huge cause.”
— BOB RAE, Canadian Ambassador to the United Nations
