Keynote Mark Henick smiling with decorative elements behind and event information for September Wellness Talk

Humber Wellness Series is aimed at promoting virtual safe spaces for conversations on aspects of health and wellness.

For September 2021, we are excited to introduce Mark Henick, Mental Health Advocate and Strategist | Top 50 TEDx Speaker for Humber Wellness Talks.

A supportive campus environment requires that all community members recognize their responsibility to others as well as themselves.

In this talk, The Mentally Healthy Campus, Mark draws upon his education and professional training in child development and mental health, his years as a student leader, and his personal experiences as a young person in the mental health system. Henick brings these experiences together to help audiences, both on-campus and those doing work related to them, to grow their awareness and understanding of this critical period of transition and growth. Henick then goes beyond only awareness, toward real, measurable action, by providing strategies for how to build and support a mentally healthy campus culture.

This event is a partnership between the Principal's Office, Student Success and Engagement, Healthy Campus Committee, and HR and Organizational Effectiveness.
