Call For Testimonials (Re: U of T's Mental Health Crisis)
Help make sure your voice and your story are heard by Meric Gertler and Sandy Welsh!

---

Hundreds of U of T students have responded to calls to action and provided input regarding the mental health crisis at the University since a third recent on-campus suicide occurred on March 17th, 2019.

Since then, the various consultations and waves of feedback given have resulted in a 20+ page statement which highlights key context, common student experiences, and students' present demands as well as recommendations. To see this statement, you can go to: http://bit.ly/uoft-mh-statement-2; to pledge your support for the statement and advocacy moving forward, you can go to: http://bit.ly/uoft-mh-demands.

Since March 17th, President Meric S. Gertler and Vice-Provost, Students Sandy Welsh have a) said that they're willing to meet with students, b) created a Task Force after no known consultations of students, and c) abruptly cancelled and then later agreed to reschedule a meeting with students to Wednesday, April 10th.

It's clear that our work here is far from done, and that we need to keep raising awareness surrounding the mental health crisis on campus. We also need to keep working to demonstrate to our administration as well as other potential allies that students stand united on this issue, and that it warrants immediate and cooperative action.

With that in mind, mental health advocates from across the University are asking that **any and all students who have been affected by mental illness on campus help submit a related testimonial here**.
