Hello, my name is Jaida Northey and I am in my second year of the Bachelor of Social Work program at Mount Royal University. I participated in Stepping Up as a facilitator as part of my practicum in my first year, and I really enjoyed it! I decided to volunteer this year because I believe this program is very important for students to learn about healthy relationships, sex, and dating violence, and to have support from other students.

My name is Kayla and I'm a 3rd year Bachelor of Social Work student. I think peer led workshops like Stepping Up allow for students to feel more comfortable when it comes to learning about relationships and sex as it's less intimidating learning from other students.

My goal is to make a positive change, no matter how small it may be. Consequently, I found this program and joined it, becoming a member of a group that is committed to addressing stigmatized and taboo issues. This not only provides professional experience but further reinforces my passion to guide and help others.

My name is Tyler and I am currently in my first year of the Social Work Diploma. I plan on attaining my Masters in Social Work so that I can help others with Mental Health, especially addictions. I am grateful to be in the Stepping Up program so that I can re-learn what I was and was not taught as a child and young adult about the important topics Stepping Up covers.
