Hi-FIVE Movement for Mental Health Details
We are a student-led group that works directly with SFU Health & Counselling to destigmatize mental health and encourage access to supports and services across the university and beyond.What We Do:We meet, we host, we chat and we create a supportive community together.Despite discussions surrounding mental health increasing over the years, the "job" is not done. Reducing stigma is ongoing. We value and encourage open conversation and authentic dialogue, and aim to create a safe space for students to learn more and share with us and each other. Stigma around mental health often prevents people from seeking treatment or talking about their problems. Through events, workshops, and authentic conversations we aim to make students feel less alone and comfortable enough to find support if – and when – they need it.We do and host things like:Community movie nightsSpecial speaker seriesPositive mental health remindersVideos and livestreams
