Margaret Trudeau is paying a visit to Chatham-Kent in the new year to talk about mental illness. 
Marjorie Crew with Family Service Kent says having lived with bi-polar disorder in the public eye, Trudeau has played a huge role in battling the stigma associated with mental health issues.
“We’re having her here to talk about her story dealing with bi-polar, mental illness, how she worked to get her life back,” Crew says. “Dealing with mental health issues and being a young mother in that very public eye and going through life married to a Prime Minister, losing a son, what a life that created for her.”
The fundraiser for Family Service Kent will be held at the Capitol Theatre on February 24th.
