Mental Health Month Activities

Hi Everyone,
As many of you may be aware, October is Mental Health Awareness month. Today is a big online event called #Me2UofT. Check it out by typing in the hashtag to twitter. Basically if you have a question about mental health or how to survive UofT you can post your question there and have an upper year student answer it for you. So far some of the tips have been pretty cool.

The next big event is the Laughing Like Crazy Comedy Showcase in the Cat's Eye at 6:30pm. It's a group of comedians who have experienced mental illness and use this as an opportunity to share their experiences in a very funny way. I've been to something similar in the Bader, and it was honestly one of the funniest things I've ever seen.

Stay tuned for more on mental health awareness this month!
