This year’s October Awareness Campaign was more exciting and dynamic than ever before. One of the highlights was the Schizophrenia Society of Ontario’s first webcast radio show, “SSO AWARE” – which can be downloaded from the home page of this site. Topics of the program include: addressing issues of stigma and discrimination, as well as a panel discussion on Access to Treatment in Ontario.

Another innovative project that was launched for October is our Strengthening Families Together (SFT) Online Program. SFT is a 10 module workshop for families that covers issues such as how to navigate the health care system; how to take care of a loved one who may be suffering from schizophrenia; as well as a helpful introduction to mental illness and schizophrenia.

2008 Iris Ball

On Friday October 24th at the Capitol Event Theatre in Toronto, friends and supporters of SSO joined together for a very special celebration. The 2008: Iris Ball:The Superhero Edition not only celebrated the end of October Schizophrenia Awareness Month, but payed special tribute to some very heroic individuals.

SSO's signature fundraising gala, for the first time in its history, honoured this year's recipients of the Moving Lives Forward Scholarships. These scholarships are awarded to people who, despite the challenges of living with schizophrenia, are going back to school to continue their studies and move ever closer to their dreams.
