Mental Health and Preparing for the Transition to Post Secondary

After high school, post-secondary education for our youth can be exciting but also stressful if they have struggled with their mental health. Learn from Dawn Schell (University of Victoria) and Melissa Feddersen (University of British Columbia Okanagan Campus). Discover some ways we can prepare our youth for school and support their mental health and independence while they are at school.

This video presentation will be followed by a discussion facilitated by the Family Peer Support Workers in Richmond.

We will be hosting this in-person event at Richmond Public Library 100-7700 Minoru Gate Richmond. Please check in with the front desk when you arrive. 

This event is for parents/caregivers only and is an informal opportunity to connect and learn with other families. 

We are not able to provide childcare. The event is free. 

Please register as the library is generously offering us space, and we want to make sure we are ready to welcome you.

Doors will open at 6:15 PM and the video presentation will begin at 6:30 PM.
