In this panel, we invite four writers who have written thoughtfully about depression, loss, grief, addiction, and childhood trauma.

About this event

Event Type: Panel

Event Code: REH/SAT-4

Venue: Rennie Hall, Emily Carr University

Cost: Free or PWYC (recommended: $12.50)

Discussions around mental health and illnesses might have become marginally less stigmatized than before, but haven’t become any less challenging to navigate. In this panel, we invite four writers who have written thoughtfully about depression, loss, grief, addiction, and childhood trauma—Alessandra Naccarato, Emma Hansen, Addie Tsai, and Rebecca Salazar—to share how they negotiate the complexities of mental health in their poetry, fiction, and memoir writing while honouring their own boundaries. Moderated by Lucia Misch.

----------

SCENT AT GROWING ROOM: Growing Room asks that all artists and attendees refrain from wearing scented products at all of our events such as perfumes, colognes, and body sprays. We do not enforce this policy, nor do our venues have permanent scent-free policies in place. Of note, both Emily Carr University and The Beaumont Studios house artist working spaces which may contain scents.

ASL-ENG Interpretation will be provided at this event.

Accessibility information, as well as Growing Room's Accessibility & Inclusion Statement, can be found here on the Growing Room website.

----------

***The original title for this panel was called "The Struggle is Real: Writing about Mental Health" which was crafted with the intent to push back against the diminishment of mental health struggles, which are very real. However, this panel is not composed of Black authors and speakers discussing mental illness in their community, even though the phrase "the struggle is real" originates in the Black community (and in hip hop specifically). We were unaware of the phrase's origins when we created the event, and recognize now that it was inappropriate for us to use. We have changed the title and will work to always increase our knowledge and learning around appropriative terms and phrases***
