On December 2nd, The SSW Mental Health class (pictured in the photo on the left) hosted the first King Campus Mental Health Awareness Day. The well attended event offered participants free food, prizes, henna tattoos, live performances and mental health related information booths. Guest speakers discussed managing anxiety and available community services. The event raised $1,744.00 for the York Centre for Children, Youth & Families, and the Canadian Mental Health Association. Money was raised through a raffle and silent auction. Winners of the top raffle prizes included Gord Imrie who won an iPad and SSW student, Victoria, who won an iPod Touch. Thank you to students and faculty who worked to bring us this event and make it such a huge success.
