Clinical psychology doctoral students Aliya McNeil and Jolie Ho represented the CMHRT and our clinical psychology area at a local mental health awareness event on Friday January 12, 2024.
The
UW
Women’s
Varsity
Ice
Hockey
team
hosted
a
Mental
Health
Awareness
game.
The
event
was
intended
to
combat
stigma
surrounding
mental
health
and
to
provide
information
about
local
mental
health
resources.
The
team
wore
specialty
jerseys
which
were
later
auctioned
off,
with
proceeds
going
to
Canadian
Mental
Health
Association
(CMHA)
Waterloo
and
Wellington
region.
Booths
were
set
up
around
the
rink
with
representation
from
local
mental
health
organizations.
Aliya and Jolie set up a terrific display for the CMHRT and were available to answer general questions about mental health for the general public. The event was well attended, in spite of winter weather conditions.
Please join me in thanking the students for another excellent opportunity to share our knowledge about mental health and mental wellness with the public.
