In collaboration with Michael Landsberg and his #SickNotWeak organization, the GXSLab is proud to have produced and hosted the #SickNotWeak webinar, an open forum dedicated to raising awareness in regards to mental health. With an emphasis on students, Landsberg (along with the GXSLab's own Laurel Walzak, Crina Mustafa, Josh Kim, and Casey Dobson) used the webinar to answer questions, outline tips, and provide resources for students.
If you are a student or someone who's struggling with mental health, please don't be afraid to reach out to someone. Our hope is that this webinar is another step in the right direction towards shining a spotlight on mental health as a whole.
