I had the opportunity to serve Ronald McDonald house families through Riley Children's hospital in Indianapolis, Indiana for Thanksgiving. I helped in making care bags for the families that were in the hospital over the holidays and I also assisted in serving breakfast for the families.
I had the opportunity to work with the Gamma Eta chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated in their highway clean up in Fayetteville.
Observing the Kognito module program was helpful in educating myself about talking to individuals that may be going through stressful events in their life. This program helped me in identifying factors that may lead to suicide.
The Mental health awareness walk included many students walking together around campus promoting awareness of mental health in order to decrease stigma surrounding the issue.
The Mental Health seminar included students, including myself that had the opportunity to speak on mental health on college campuses. There were representatives from various departments on the U of A's campus, including CAPS.
I had the opportunity to help the CAPS center on campus. My experience included raising awareness of suicide prevention on campus. This was a really awesome opportunity to speak with different students.
