ACTIVE MINDS EDUCATION PROGRAM

Changing the Conversation Around Mental Health one presentation at a time

Mental health education is a key aspect in changing the conversation surrounding mental health. So often, mental illness is mis-conveyed in pop culture and easily misunderstood. In line with our goal to create a safer space that is well-informed, supportive, and knowledgable of mental health, Active Mind's UAlberta delivers interactive Educational Presentations on mental health. 

​

Our Educational Presentations on Mental Health are facilitated by experienced volunteers who deliver either a 50 minute or 80 minute session covering the following the following topics: 

​

• Mental Health: what, when, why 

• Myths surrounding Mental Health 

• Mental Health and Stigma 

• Stress and Mental Heath 

• Language and Mental Health 

• Diaphragmatic Breathing Guided exercise 

• Guided Meditation exercise (during 80 minute sessions only) 

• Mental Health Resources and Help
