Mental Health Week 2017 Kick-Off
The UPEI community is invited to come celebrate with us as we kick off the 2017 UPEI Mental Health Week and feature our guest speaker, former UPEI Student Union President, Anastasia Smallwood. “Growing up I didn't talk about mental health-- it wasn't at home or in school, but mental illness was still there. As any relationship does, it has taken time to come to terms with my mental illness,Trichotillomania: accepting the good, the ugly, and myself through self acceptance and relying on others.”
Come be a part of our celebrations, support one another and be reminded of the relationships that matter to you. Snacks and refreshments will be served.
