UPEI is excited to welcome Alicia Raimundo, for a TEDxTalk on mental health in support of Mental Health Week 2014, on Tuesday March 11 at 1:30 pm in McMillan Hall, W.A. Murphy Student Centre. Alicia Raimundo has been described as a “mental health superhero,” battling serious bouts of anxiety, depression, and a suicide attempt since the age of 13. More recently, she used her move to the University of Waterloo as a catalyst to seek help, and eventually, to help others living with mental health issues. By the age of 24, she had earned a university degree, given a TEDxTalk, was named one of 2012 “faces of mental illness,” became the Canadian ambassador for the Young Health Program, and held positions in more than six mental health organizations.
