Trent University & Community Mourn The Loss Of Student Adrian Stenner
/The Trent community is mourning the loss of Adrian Stenner. Adrian, 21, was a third-year Physics student at Trent University who was a member of Gzowski College. Adrian battled depression and his family wanted to share this message:
"Adrian Stenner was an exceptionally kind, intelligent, creative and empathetic young man. He was excited to continue his learning in his third year in Physics and Astronomy here at Trent. Adrian was an extraordinary musician and was passionate about astronomy, history, classics, and politics. He was loving, and dearly loved by his extended family and friends in Canada and Peru.
Adrian struggled with depression and though he received support from his family and some support from the mental health system, his internal fight was often silent. We could be mad and upset about his death, but instead we take this traumatic event as an opportunity to raise awareness and encourage people to talk about mental health.
Mental health is the silent fight that one in five Canadians experience in their lifetimes.
It is a difficult step for a struggling individual to reach out for help. Though Adrian’s struggle is now over, we want to shed light on the local services available, in addition to those at Trent University:
