Hello Parents and Guardians,
Weyburn Comprehensive School is pleased to welcome Brad Siroski to speak to our student body on Mental Health and Addictions on Tuesday, March 24th. Brad is a renowned Keynote Speaker, Certified Mental Health Counsellor, and a Canadian Certified Addiction Counsellor.
Brad Siroski will talk about his struggles with Mental Health as a boy, which then led to addictions and negative repercussions in his life. He goes on to discuss his journey to look within himself on his road to recovery and healing. He finishes with tips and takeaways on how to promote positive mental wellness.
He will also provide interactive workshop presentations to our Grade 9s and Grade 10s in two separate sessions to discuss recognizing mental illness and promoting mental wellness as Teens. He talks about the four major struggles that students go through in high school - stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Brad shares how to promote wellness through holistic self-care, using our voices, and supports.
Students are encouraged to connect with their teacher if they feel the content may be difficult.
Thank you,
WCS Staff
