The Power Of Community: Reflections From The Education Commissioner Of Active Minds Western, Josh Thompson-Persaud

SASAH 4th Year Capstone and Other Projects: Presentations

As a mental health advocate, Josh is passionate about advancing mental health reform and increasing mental health literacy in their communities. Feeding from this passion, Josh worked with Active Minds Western (AM), a USC-regulated mental health advocacy club, as the Education Commissioner this year. Josh decided to use the second half of the term in this role as a Community Engaged Learning (CEL) project as they recognized the value in academically structuring and critically assessing their progress toward increased mental health literacy at Western University.
