Growing up, I wasn’t really exposed to the basics of mental health until I reached the end of high school and began to enter university. I noticed just how crucial it was to lay down the foundation of mental health basics and self care as I started to get involved in the space. I realized I had the opportunity to spread my knowledge and allow youth to have the tools to understand their mental health journeys as they grow up, rather than navigating it all alone.
 

What I’m looking forward to doing as a Network Rep: I’m really hoping to play a part in centralizing the unique mental health-related artifacts we have available — especially those that target youth from more vulnerable communities.
