A Mental Health Discussion at M.U.C.S.
BREAKING FREE OF ISOLATION
An Evening Discussion with
Mike Santoro from www.mikesstory.com
and
Sylvia Smith from AMI-Quebec

The Montreal Urban Community Sustainment Project is dedicated to fighting oppression in all its forms. We are proud to break the bonds of isolation surrounding mental health and subjects falsely considered as taboos to society. As such we hope to engage in a lively and supportive discussion with Mike Santoro and Sylvia Smith. There experiences and knowledge will help initiate conversation around mental health and the many channels of managing it. The discussion will bring to light challenges and experiences faced by individuals living with a mental illness as well as anyone interested in being apart of such an enriching conversation. It is our hope that through dialogue and the sharing of ideas, we can empower each other by offering support. The Montreal Urban Community Sustainment Project is honored by Mike and Sylvia’s presence at their evening discussion and we welcome everyone to attend. The event has been scheduled to take place on Wednesday August 27th, 2008 from 5:30pm-8:30pm. Guests are encouraged to stay for dinner and enjoy a vegan meal prepared in our dining coop (a small donation for the meal would be greatly appreciated). For more information please email us at naira@muc.ca or give us a call at 514-312-7074.
