Mental Illness Awareness Week: Mental Health 101 Workshop
Oct 07, 2021 |1:00pm-4:00pm
This workshop, led by the 1/5 Initiative, explores how to recognize the signs and symptoms of distress, how to access services, basic active listening skills, and tips for self-care. This workshop is presented as an educational tool for participants. The information should not be used as a means for diagnosis, but serves to increase mental health literacy and signs of distress.
The 1/5 Initiative aims to advocate for and promote psychological well-being and mental health literacy at the University of Ottawa and in the community. With the development, promotion and delivery of workshops and other activities and educational tools, as well as material and online resources, it aims to help reduce stigma pertaining to mental illness and facilitate access to resources for mental health.
