Alise deBie is a ‘crazy’ grad student who likes to have fun. Alise knows there’s lots of evidence to prove fun is good for you so come to this event, have fun and add to the evidence (you can call it research on your CV!).
Alise is also a member of the McMaster Mad Students Society (MSS). The MSS was created in 2005 and is a community of and for students who have past/present experiences with psychiatric/mental health systems. We meet to support each other, discover tools for self-advocacy, and connect with our history and broader social movements. Check out our website at www.madstudentsociety.com.
