The Mental Health and Well-Being Research and Training Hub (MeWeRTH) at Carleton University will be launching a new Lived Experience Luncheon series where we invite members in our community to give a presentation on their lived experience, highlighting any challenges they encountered and their resiliency in facing these challenges.
“Everyone faces challenges. I believe that by sharing these experiences and perspectives, we can foster resilience and increased well-being. Please join us for these inspirational stories.” – Dr. Joanna Pozzulo, Director, MeWeRTH
