We would like to thank members of the Schizophrenia Society for coming out to speak with and educate our Health Science students and Social Justice Students at CRP about mental illness. We are very proud of our Health Science students for showing a great deal of respect, attention, and empathy during the Speakers' stories.  It was a very informative session and we all feel more aware of the challenges and supports surrounding mental illness.  We are also grateful that the speakers dispelled the negative stereotypes often sensationalized by the media. It was valuable to see the stories of our Presenters from the perspective of three different people dealing with mental illness and a parent supporting a child with mental illness.
