CANDID 19: Youth Speak Out on Mental Health
Event date: -
Event type: Single day (a day or less)
CMHA Elgin and Out There Creative Therapy are hosting a Zoom-based one-evening event for youth. The event is focused on having open conversations about the lived-experience of mental health challenges, such as psychosis and depression. It will include resources for hope, sharing the value of creativity, and discussions about meaningful action that is focused on personal joys and values. The event will be led by three individuals with lived-experiences of psychosis, depression, as well as family members who have supported with these challenges. The speakers will share their stories of struggle, hope, and finding external and internal resources to support them in the pursuit of self-discovery and well-being.
After the genuine, educational, and candid presentations, youth will have the opportunity to ask questions, share comments, and offer their own experiences during an open group discussion with the presenters and other youth. The evening will be 3 hours in length and finish with a mini-creative workshop “on telling your own story” run by the Director of Out There Creative Therapy.
This event is open to anyone in Ontario, but spots are limited, so RSVP to secure your spot and receive event details!
