Kwantlen Polytechnic University presents: Our Bodies, Our Minds

A variation of our Movies for Mental Health (Sexual Violence) program, Our Bodies Our Minds harnesses theatre and embodied activities to engage with young people on the vital topic of mental health and sexual violence, inspiring them to tell their own stories and explore those of others.

The event also connects survivors and allies with mental health resources available to them, empowering them to seek support and heal as individuals and communities.

*Our Bodies, Our Minds workshops are only offered in an in-person format.
