"After having Yuliya of the Barrie Anxiety clinic as a guest speaker, I would rate my mental health awareness at a 8-9, compared to a 3-4 at the beginning of the semester. It really opened my eyes that talking about your thoughts, feelings or emotions is ok, and does not make you any less than another individual. It certainly helps hearing about other first responders seeking help, and it helps reinforce that even though they are tough, they are not invincible. I was also extremely happy having the opportunity to talk to Yuliya about types of treatment, and her thoughts on medication to treat such disorders. She really helped me see things in a different light, so for that I owe a big thank you. "
