Let's talk about Winter and Mental Health and the effects and impact the seasons have on us. Peer Wellness will be leading a discussion on seasonal depression, the winter blues, seasonal affective disorder and being a OCADU student during the wintertime. Peer Wellness works to de-stigmatize conversations on mental health in our community through Anti-Oppressive Programming.
Led by volunteers Pauline Aksay and Cocolena Fong.
