The Human Services Professional program had the pleasure of watching a presentation put on by the Schizophrenia Association of Alberta. Their play, called Starry, Starry Night tells a story about a man who is diagnosed with Schizophrenia. The play was written by people who either have Schizophrenia or have a loved one who has it. The play was presented during the Connecting to Communities course which is part of the Human Services Professional program. The course is designed to develop an understanding between families, community agencies, and support services professionals and how "the family" and its members impact the contiguous community and locate support and assistance when dealing with their specific familial issues.

Each class of the Dental Assistant Professional Program, as part of their course, creates and organizes a presentation that will be given to a group in the community. This group was presenting to our Community Support Services program (this was an Employment Class for adults with developmental disabilities). They chose to start their presentation with a skit! Take time to watch their short but very informative skit. Definitely makes tooth decay easy to understand. Great job!
