SWATCA 2025 - South Western Alberta Teachers' Convention

Canadian recording artist Marco Corbo has dealt with depression and anxiety for many years. These conditions have led to low self-esteem, isolation, loneliness, and shame. They have taken him down some dark roads. Marco’s presentation intertwines storytelling with songs composed throughout his journey. Marco has managed to overcome these challenges and have a successful career as a teacher, as well as becoming an accomplished singer-songwriter. Marco is sharing his story, hoping to help end the stigma surrounding mental health. He hopes that opening up about his own struggles will encourage kids and adults alike, to talk about mental health openly, and to seek help when they need it.
