HAECC had a presentation to staff and students on depression & mental health awareness (March 9th). Partners for life which is founded through the Mental Illness Foundation offers workshops and presentations to teenagers and adults throughout the province of Quebec. The 75-minute presentation creates awareness of depression, informs the audience of the warning signs & symptoms as well as the myths of depression.
The staff and students were very receptive of the presentation and were able to interact with the presenters by asking questions and being able to learn skills and techniques on how they can help when they see a friend or family member in need.
