SS Forum Presents Joanna Cheek: Mental Health for us All
About this event
ArtSpring – Theatre. What if the mental health symptoms we face are signals that can help us see and solve actual causes? Nationally, about 1 in 5 (or over seven million) people in Canada experience a mental illness or significant mental health issue annually. By age 40, about half of the Canadian population will have or have had a mental illness. Dr. Joanna Cheek sees mental health struggles as symptoms of the imbalances in our wider systems, and works to decrease the stigma that is too often misplaced on the individuals who suffer rather than the ailing society around them. In addition to caring for individuals, she hopes to heal the harmful dynamics of domination, division, and indifference within our collective systems, teaching that collective-care is self-care. Whether or not you or someone you know is struggling with mental health symptoms, this special Salt Spring Forum event will provide helpful information and tools—so we can come together to respond to the shared problems that we face. $20 Members | $25 Public | Youth 19 and Under $5 BUY TICKETS
