TORONTO, April 16, 2014 /CNW/ - The Family and Friends of Sasha Menu Courey have issued a response to the independent investigation conducted for the University of Missouri. University of Missouri System President Tim Wolfe contacted Sasha's parents to offer his deepest sympathy and confirmed that they will be taking action to strengthen the university's policies to ensure students are safe on campus. We are hoping the transformation in their support system will make a difference and become a model for other universities.

In Sasha's memory, the Sashbear Foundation, has been created with the vision of "Making Waves on Mental Health by building environments for the advancement of life coping skills". The foundation's goal is to lead a mental health reform by promoting awareness for the need of early prevention, recognition, timely intervention and access to affordable treatment of individuals with BPD. We are holding our second annual Borderline 5k Walk to "raise awareness and show our support for those in need" on May 25th at the Sunnyside beach boardwalk in Toronto, visit sashbear.org.
