Elliece Ramsey
First hand experience with
Depression and Social Anxiety
Elliece Ramsey is a twenty-four year old student living in Regina. Elliece’s first experiences with depression and social anxiety began at thirteen years old, and several years after that she developed a compulsive body-focused repetitive behaviour. It took a decade from initial onset, and the help of mental health professionals including a psychiatrist and several therapists, for her mental health to recover to a manageable state. Elliece is currently working on a Bachelor’s of Science in biology at the University of Regina. In her spare time, she is an aspiring derby girl, an inveterate bookworm, and a multi-instrumentalist of dubious skill.
Dwayne Williams

Hope, Strength and Courage
Dwayne is from Jamaica and came to Canada in 2005 to attend Victory Bible College in Calgary, Alberta. He says coming to Canada was a great opportunity;
He was given the privilege to be a part of another culture and to share some culture of his own.
He shares his personal experience with his life journey and to give hope, strength, and courage to others on theirs. He believes that this is not the end of his journey; it’s only the beginning, because the best is yet to come.
