Mental Health - Part 2

Our guest speaker from Carleton Uni returned for second visit to talk more about mental health. This week he answered a few questions the students had from last week's presentation. He then discussed phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), eating and sleeping disorders, and schizophrenia. The big message to the students was to eat healthy, exercise, get good sleep, and surround themselves with a supportive network of caring friends and family. Even more, seek help when needed, be aware that someone suffering from a mental health disorder deserves respect, and not to isolate anyone for any reason ever. The students were highly engaged.
