A HUGE thank you to Students in Mind Conference for their incredibly well-executed conference today, all the facilitators, sponsors, panelists and speakers! To say I learned a lot is an understatement. Notably, their opening of conversation about mental health and its associated stigma. It was extremely refreshing to talk to so many open minded and passionate people interested in creating a snowball effect of initiatives and conversation about mental health in an everyday aspect, how structures of University and schooling play an enormous role in educating students and faculty members about mental health, keeping a healthy mind, mental health and criminality, social media, de-stigmatizing of mental health issues and more on the intersectional spectra. Although its incredibly difficult to sum it up in one post, I hope that I can spark at least one other persons interest and get the conversation going in your own spaces. There are a plethora of initiatives happening specifically at McGill like The MIND Project, Unleash the Noise, Healthy Mcgill and way way more to make the hopes of tackling this tough but very important issue a reality. :) pce n luvvvvv
