Toronto Film School Launches 3-Week Peer Support Group for Students Battling Depression
“Strength grows in the moments when you think you can’t go on, but you keep going anyway.”
Toronto Film School is set to launch a three-week peer support group to allow students battling depression to come together to share their experiences, to learn from each other, and to collaborate on new strategies that will support them in better managing their depressive symptoms.
These weekly support sessions, which will run every Wednesday from March 10 until March 24, will consist of an open-group format with a maximum of 20 students. Each hourlong session will take place from 10 to 11 a.m. (PST) / 1 to 2 p.m. (EST) / 2 to 3 p.m. (AST).
Students can sign-up on a first-come, first-serve basis for any of the following sessions, each of which will cover a different topic:
- Week 1 (March 10): Psychoeducation
- Week 2 (March 17): Reviewing Triggers, Symptoms, and Identifying Obstacles
- Week 3 (March 24): Strategies
Students interested in participating in any/all of these support groups can register through Sign Up Genius here.
