The Bridge Of Life team would like to announce our special guest speaker for this year's Bridge Of Life Event September 10, 2025.

Rebecca Hung!!

Rebecca Hung is a holistic health and wellness professional with an Honours Degree in Applied Human Service Administration. She facilitates Mental Health First Aid training and is a Certified Psychological Health and Safety Advisor. In addition to her private practice, she contributes to a province-wide community of practice project focused on post-secondary mental health in Alberta. Her work is grounded in a deep commitment to wellness advocacy, education, and nurturing compassionate and connected communities.

A passionate volunteer, Rebecca draws strength from community, the arts, mindfulness, somatic practices, and nature. Her dedication to mental health is also deeply personal—losing her mother to su***de in 2003 has had lasting impacts on her mental health and she shares her story in the hopes of encouraging others to see the value in sharing theirs.

Join us September 10, 2025 at 7:00pm in Constable Ezio Faraone Park to hear Rebecca's powerful story.
