The explanation about the topic this time is a lot more precise, scientific-based, and is back up with many statistics and careful research. The psychologists also shared their insights and experience throughout their career life.

According to the Anxiety Disorders Association of Canada, “the 12 month prevalence for any anxiety disorder is over 12% and one in four Canadians (25%) will have at least one anxiety disorder in their lifetime”. We often hear about and constantly bring up the word ‘Anxiety’ in our daily life, and sometimes even experience it ourselves. Yet most people have a lack of knowledge about the Anxiety concepts and easily misunderstand many myths that they heard through shallow conversations with friends. It’s time to dig deeper. It’s time to maze. Group Members: Scarlet Nguyen, Tonya Yin, Ellie Wang, Rozalyn Lee Episode 1: “Anxiety? Is it edible?” In this episode, we went around the school and interview random students and teachers to test their knowledge about Anxiety. The answers and their reactions were were really interesting and hilarious at some points, but we also recognize a serious problem: there is a disconnection between the students and the teachers although both groups related deeply to this topic.

Refugees are individuals who are forced leave their homes to look for safety, or shelter. All in all, individuals become evacuees to escape violence, economic imbalance, natural disasters, unforgiving circumstances and working conditions. With regards to adamant conflict, refugees are those who escape from inevitable, frequently long term violence and other troublesome living conditions expedited by the dispute. The United Nations all the more barely characterizes refugees as people who are outside their nation and can’t return inferable from a well-established dread of mistreatment on account of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or enrolment in a specific social gathering.
