Description de l'évenement

A facilitated community discussion about Bi-Polar Disorder and how to challenge the myths associated with this mental illness in our communities.

The Peace of Mind Series was conceived by Chelby Marie Daigle and Farhat Rehman, two Muslim women whose lives have been affected by Mental Illness. We hope to support other members of our community by challenging the stigma associated with mental illness in our communities.

The Third Session will focus on raising awareness about bi-polar disorder and its treatment, with a particular focus on dispeling myths associated with this illness.
