Everyone has mental health and it is normal for it to fluctuate several times throughout your post-secondary journey and life. The Stories of Hope initiative is a student-led initiative that seeks to reduce mental health stigma and promote community and a sense of belonging on campus.
Stories of Hope highlights voices across the Queen's University campus to showcase stories of hope, resilience and strength in the face of adversity.
The Stories of Hope initiative aligns with the Queen's Campus Wellbeing Framework. The framework's goal is to encourage and support an inclusive culture of wellbeing that inspires and enables all who live, learn, and work at Queen's to thrive.
For any questions, concerns, etc. you can contact Aleisha (Project Lead) at af153@queensu.ca
