Why U-Flourish is important to Emily:
Mental health promotion and education has been a passion of mine that I have actively been engaged in since high school. Joining UFlourish’s Student Engagement Team at Queen’s University has allowed me to continue my passion while also having a substantial impact on university-students mental well-being. UFlourish is important to me because we work as a team to dismantle stigma surrounding mental health, better understand the mental health needs of our peers and create essential resources to support students. My time on the UFlourish team has been extremely rewarding thus far.
