Joel Marcovitch, Hillers director, said he hopes the fair will encourage students who may be too shy to seek out help find what they need to improve their mental and emotional health. “I think it will help that students don’t have to walk into a building or pick up a telephone," Marcovitch said. “Everyone's going to be at the fair to help and take up information, it’s going to really informal." Students can expect more than just information pamphlets from these organi zations. “You’re going to meet real therapists who can actually help you,” Marcovitch said. Beker said “Breaking the Silence" is an event to get these student services out in the open so students know they have resources they can turn to when they need help academically or psychologi cally. “We want to talk about issues that people don't normally talk about,” Beker said. “People don't often talk about issues like suicide they’re ashamed or scared, but that shouldn’t be the way it is.” Jennifer Miracle, director of the LOBT Resource Center, said spreading aware ness about issues that are often not talk ed about, such as sexuality, is one of the major reasons the LGBT Resource Center is participating in “Breaking the Silence." "What I’ve found is that people are not comfortable talking about sexual orienta tion or sexual identity,” she said. “Rather than say something that might embarrass or offend someone, people choose to not say anything at all.” Miracle said the LGBT Resource cen ter is a space where people of all sexuali ties can go and feel comfortable discuss ing these issues. Opened in 2005, the cen ter is a unit within the Department of International Affairs in Memorial Hall. It offers various educational services and programs throughout the year, including weekly discussions and sexual health resources.
