McKelvy Discussion (10/06)

Hello Everyone!

This Sunday’s(10/06) discussion will be on the stigma of mental health/mental illness in society. We will be discussing how society as a whole reacts to mental illness as well as how individuals respond, and if these responses by people and society indicate support/acceptance of mental illness or not, and if not, what should/could be done.
