Members of the Celtic Circle from Bishop Ryan Catholic Secondary School recently attended the 2014 YMCA Peace Medal Breakfast to accept an award nomination from their principal.
Principal Emidio Piccioni recognized the students for helping to bring awareness to mental health and mental illness, breaking stigma, building empathy and promoting help-seeking behaviours.
“We felt so honoured to be present among so many other teens that work towards promoting social justice,” said Emilie Suwala, a founding member of the club. “We believe that building a suicide-safer community is everyone’s business.”
The students have created and implemented several activities since their start up in August 2013.
