Fridays at the University Mental Health Day Dec 14 2018

We are all affected by mental health problems at some point in our lives. For some of us, the fight against mental illness is a daily battle for survival. Local experts on mental health matters will lead us as we gather for a day of learning and reflection on this important topic. Join us in breaking down stigma and exploring the hope that treatment can bring.
