COPE is a student organization at McMaster University dedicated to stomping out the stigma associated with mental health. It was founded in September 2008 by a group of students looking to make a difference. What started from humble beginnings is now one of the most active clubs at McMaster with plenty of opportunities for members to get involved with mental health issues on campus and in the comm
unity. We believe that reducing mental health stigma, those with mental illness will feel more comfortable speaking about their experiences and seeking help. By normalizing mental health and emphasizing its importance, we can all help improve access to mental health services and the services themselves. Thus, COPE aims to reduce stigma by:
1) Raising awareness
2) Educating the community
3) Providing appropriate referrals
