Setting Up the Video Call

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Mixed-media painting (ballpoint pen and acrylic on cardboard) based on a screenshot

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

My spouse has a number of mental and physical health issues and getting out of the apartment is usually difficult, so one thing I have to admit I don’t mind about the pandemic is that our GP now does phone consultations, and my spouse’s new psychiatrist does interviews by video. This is me setting up the iPad for his first session.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?

videoconference, toronto, CAMH, mentalhealth, accessibility

Who originally created this object? (If you created this object, such as photo, then put "self" here.)
