Stacey Chomiak (Bachelor of Animation ’09) is a writer, artist and an LGBTQ speaker who just recently released her coming-of-age memoir, Still Stace. Stacey will share her experience of her teenage and young-adult years of heartbreak, family conflict, trying to become ex-gay and finding love. Hear Stacey’s story and how she was able to overcome all of these obstacles and learned to love her full self and become the best of everything.
Following Stacey’s story, we will have a panel discussion with Stacey, the Canadian Mental Health Association, and the Positive Space Network. The panel will discuss the challenges LGBTQ+ youth experience and how it can impact mental wellness. The panel will offer information, support and strategies for parents, caregivers, peers, and the community, as well as support and strategies on access to mental health care and services for LGBTQ+ youth.
