自2014年秋天以来，伊利沙伯高中的学生一直在与心理健康相关的社会污名进行抗争。在参加渥太华的HeadStrong全国峰会后，学生和教职员工组成了心理健康团队。

这个学生团队计划在心理健康周和整个学年期间开展活动，教育和告知同学们心理疾病的困境，它对直接和间接受影响的人数，以及如何共同努力消除心理疾病患者所面临的污名。

今年，心理健康团队有机会向其他专业人士、学校和同龄人传达他们的信息和教诲。他们在IACAPAP（国际儿童和青少年精神病学及相关专业协会）上演讲，该协会汇聚了国际心理健康专家；他们在FNMI/农村Headstrong会议上发表演讲，该会议向很多拥有第一民族、梅蒂斯族、因纽特人和农村学生的学校传达信息；最后，他们在由加拿大心理卫生协会主办的YouthSMART Calgary会议上发表演讲。

每一次学生都有机会接触新的听众，讨论消除心理健康污名的重要性，他们为每年受影响的数百万人带来希望。

Since the fall of 2014, Queen Elizabeth High School students have been fighting the stigma associated with Mental Health. Inspired by their attendance at the HeadStrong national summit in Ottawa, students and staff formed the Mentally Healthy team.

This team of students plans activities during Mental Health week and throughout the school year that educate and inform their classmates on the struggles of mental illness, the number of people it affects – directly and indirectly – and how to work together to remove the stigma attached to individuals living with mental illness.

This year, the Mentally Healthy team has had the opportunity to take their message and teachings to other professionals, schools and peers.  The have presented to the IACAPAP (International Association for Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions), an international audience of Mental Health experts; the FNMI/rural Headstrong conference which reached many schools with First Nations, Metis, Inuit and rural students, and finally, at the YouthSMART Calgary conference hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association. 

Each time the students have an opportunity to reach a new audience to discuss the importance of eliminating Mental Health stigma, they offer hope to the millions of people affected every year.
