past initiatives
That Time We Went Through a Pandemic is a captivating storybook showcasing the authentic stories of eight individuals from the University of Alberta community. These stories are a compelling resource that highlight unique personal journeys during the COVID-19 pandemic. This storybook was created with hopes of reducing the stigma surrounding mental health, encouraging dialogue, and sharing invaluable strategies for building resilience during times of adversity.
