“Mental health is a topic very close to my heart,” said Her Excellency. “In order to deepen my understanding of people who suffer from mental illness, I am taking part in this two-day course. By doing so, I also want to continue to add my voice to those who are speaking out against the stigmas associated with mental illness.” Louise Bradley, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mental Health First Aid Canada, presented Her Excellency with her honorary diploma.
