Public Announcement - Windsor/Leamington - WE ARE HERE: A Mental Health Conversation Panel
Leamington’s Mayor’s Youth Advisory Committee (MYAC) consists of a group of motivated youth who meet regularly with Mayor John Paterson to voice ideas, concerns and suggestions of the youth in our community for the youth in our community. We believe that giving youth a sense of communal belonging will only enhance their personal development and, arising from that, the economic and societal well-being of Leamington in coming years. As involved members of society, we are confident that this is a philosophy you can agree with.
We will be holding a Mental Health Conversation Panel on Thursday, February 8th, 2018 at the Leamington Kinsmen Recreation Complex (249 Sherk St., Leamington. Doors open at 6pm and it will end at approximately 8:30. Our mission is to have an open conversation regarding mental health in an attempt to bring awareness, fight the stigma and show support. Our vision is to have an open conversation regarding wellness and mental health topics via a panel of people from various backgrounds and qualifications. Although designed to attract youth in our community, we do hope that people from all age groups will take part in some way.
We have selected six panelists from a group of volunteers who have had mental health related issues: Dylan Dundas, Meagan Marie Marton, Rebecca Lynn, Justine McNeil, Lindley Crispo and Melissa Augustine. We will be donating the money raised to The Bridge: Leamington Youth Resource Centre.
