Everyone needs a safe space to share.
That's the spirit driving the new mental health peer support program from the Dalhousie Student Union.
Students and staff at Halifax’s Dalhousie University decided to use a seasonal theme to protest what they feel is a grave situation at the school.
Homemade paper tombstones were placed in the Dalhousie quad on Thursday, in ‘mourning’ of cuts to academic programs and other resources.
Post-secondary education has the potential to empower people in so many ways, such as increasing technical and critical skills, confidence, and employment opportunities. It's no wonder, then, that the United Nations recognizes education as a human right. The Dalhousie Student Union strives to eliminate barriers to education wherever they exist so that everybody who is capable and interested in pursuing advanced education may do so.
