One student named Zach spoke with his Health Teacher shortly after he attended a UWDOR community partner mental health presentation to say, "The mental health presentation really helped me understand my depression and anxiety. Because we talked about the early warning signs, now I am able to understand how to figure out if my friends are going through something. I now see a therapist as I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I am now able to see the signs that I had when I was young. I can now tell people about it without feeling like they are going to judge me for having it. Due to the presentation, I was able to figure out what I was experiencing and get the help I needed. It definitely helped hearing someone else talk about their story and hear how they got through everything. I really enjoyed the presentation, and it made a difference for me!"
