Algonquin students launch #ShatterTheSilence campaign to support The Royal

Students in Algonquin College’s public relations program recently launched a campaign to raise funds for the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. Named #ShattertheSilence, this campaign aims to take a stand against the stigma surrounding mental health and raise both money and awareness through a series of dedicated events. “The reason for calling it Shatter the Silence is we’re trying to promote meaningful conversations about mental health and eliminate the stigma that is attached to it,” said Algonquin student Dawson Richards. The campaign’s upcoming schedule includes a SereniTEA café and an open mic event called “Mic Drop the Silence.”
