Ask Me Anything: Mental Health

Mental health issues can be difficult to talk about, but now you have the opportunity to pose all those questions you thought might be too awkward or uncomfortable to ask. Come hear your classmates share their experiences with depression, addiction, bipolar disorder, self-injury, and more. All questions are fair game—the only way to reduce the stigma is to discuss these things openly, so come be part of the conversation!

The "Ask Me Anything" series of events provides firsthand personal perspectives on elements of personal identity. Past events have addressed national identity (often tied in with C-Functions), religious, racial, sexual, and ethnic identity, the Veteran experience, and themes such as mental illness and hearing loss. Typically, a small panel of community members provides brief introductions then addresses questions that people may otherwise be hesitant to ask. Our goal in offering these panels is to advance understanding and dialogue. We encourage faculty, staff, and students to attend these events to learn more about the issues and how to be effective allies and leaders, both within the MIT community and beyond.

Lunch will be provided. Please RSVP to help us plan catering responsibly. Sponsored by the MIT Sloan Senate, Breaking the Mold, and MIT Sloan Student Life.
