EXAMPLE: “The Positive Project”

Students at Miles Macdonell Collegiate raised money for the Mental Health Education Resource Center , a local organization which promotes mental health and educates about mental illness in an effort to encourage Manitobans to seek treatment early and to reduce the prejudice and discrimination that exists towards people with a mental illness. Money was raised through selling candy grams at school and the students spread awareness by posting positive messages around the school that students had written.

These students learned about the importance of positivity in mental illness.
