Promoting a discussion about parents and mental health with Peer Wellness

Let's have a group discussion on parents and mental health. Led by Nora and Pauline - two Peer Wellness Educators who work to de-stigmatize conversations on mental health in our community through Brave Spaces and Anti-Oppressive Programming. We will be discussing parents, guardians, caregivers and being a currently enrolled OCADU student during the COVID-19 Pandemic. 

  1. How did your parents react when you told them you were going to OCAD? 
    Did their comments or feelings affect you?
    How did your relationship change after starting University?
    Do you feel safe or heard when discussing mental health with parents?
    Have you felt pressured to compromise your dreams to receive support from parents?
    How do your parents feel about art now? Has it changed? Do they have more info on the opportunities after school?
