This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Toronto chapter.

I recently went to a fantastic event organized by the Active Minds team at UofT – they’re a passionate, dedicated group of students working to raise awareness about mental health and providing support for students in the UofT community. 

SPEAK OUT is an event where any student, irrespective of background or program, can talk about their experiences with mental illness in a safe, anonymous space. Students created poems and even stand-up comedy routines to share their experiences with those who attended.

If you’re interested in SPEAK OUT, or even just what Active Minds does at UofT, feel free to check out their Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/activemindstoronto?ref=ts&fref=ts and maybe even attend one of their events in the future!

My name is Mallika Makkar and I'm stoked to be part of the Class of 2018 at the University of Toronto, as well as photographer for HerCampus! Photography is one of my greatest passions. The majority of my work encompasses architectural, landscape, wildlife, portrait, and event photography; I believe that every photo should tell a story. My other interests include travelling, acting, reading, writing, dancing, and learning. I love all kinds of music (I probably know too much for my own good), and have too many favourite movies and TV shows to count.
