Aiden Simard
Research Assistant and Volunteer
Student, B.Sc. Microbiology and Immunology, UBC

Aiden’s interest in mental health advocacy began at a young age when he conducted a study on social media and adolescent anxiety and depression. His passion continued into university, where he led a fundraiser that raised just under $22,000 in support of HeadsUpGuys.
Aiden strives to live a life that encourages other men to speak out, break the stigma, and continue the conversation about men’s mental health.
