Bench the Barriers
Mental Health disorders affect 1 in 4 people and spares no one! Courageous athletes at Carleton have chosen to share their struggles and their stories in an attempt to increase mental health Awareness. For the month of October varsity athletes will be featured in an attempt to encourage others to bench the barriers and speak out and reach out for help. You don’t need to suffer in silence. Together we hope to shatter the stigma of mental health, foster compassion and ensure that Carleton University is a supportive community. Bench the barriers and help the varsity athletes tackle the challenges of mental health.
