Connections partnered with the UofA Days of Action Committee and the Sound Studies Institute for an evening of poetry around themes of mental health, neurological disorders, and wellness. Heather Ritz, a Community Social Worker with Wellness Supports, started with a presentation about Happiness Reflected<\/a>, a multi year project which invites members of the UofA community to submit poems about happiness as a way to open up discussions about mental health. This was followed by readings of some of the Happiness Reflected<\/em> poems by students and alumni submitted in 2025, and then an open session where guests were welcomed to share their poetry with the audience. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
