Presentations for Conferences & Seminars
Whether it is youth communicating with youths or with adults, Elevated Grounds presentations that are customized for conferences, seminars and workshops provide a welcome break from the largely traditional talk-oriented, professional talking-to-professional format at these settings. EG provides a refreshing youth perspective about challenges in the mental health field such as access to services, youth-centered service delivery, familial and community supports. EG’s impactful and yet entertaining theatrical production features the culturally-diverse EG youth cast members who have experienced mental health issues facilitating interactive and informative workshops. EG employs the model of Contact-based Education – the telling and sharing of personal stories – which is cited by mental health educators as one of the most effective way of de-stigmatizing mental illness. |
EG workshops focus on various themes and offer a rich level of information within a de-stigmatization framework. Workshops could be tailored and could focus on a variety of issues e.g. increasing awareness and understanding of mental illness, the importance of youth seeking help, what resiliency and recovery looks like for youths for youths from culturally diverse and marginalized communities, “coping” skills and strategies, developing positive supports and strategies for maintaining sound mental health.
