Foundational Peer Leadership (FPLT) – May 3, 4, & 6, 2022
You are invited to register for our upcoming Foundational Peer Leadership Training (FPLT).
About FPLT
This training offers current students and peer leaders a unique opportunity to learn and reflect on how to take on leadership responsibilities, what it means to be a leader in their community, and how to maintain a balance in their lives.
Students attending this training will explore the following topics:
1. You Matter - Leadership is not only about THEM (mentees), but also about YOU. Learn about how to maintain your health and wellness so that you can maximize both your potential and the potential of those around you.
2. They Matter - Reflect on and discuss questions such as what does leadership mean to you? What are the characteristics and traits of a "good" leader? and how can we systematically and compassionately meet and address the needs of your mentees and other students?
3. Communication Matters - Have you ever been nervous when communicating with others? You are not the only one. Verbal and written communication with peers, professors, colleagues, and students, is an inherent part of being a peer leader. Learn about to use communication skills more effectively in both an in-person and virtual environment.
Eligibility
This training is mandatory for all peer leaders affiliated with Calumet and Stong Colleges (both paid and volunteer roles). If you are interested in a peer leadership position and/or want to develop your leadership skills, we invite you to register.

Student counselling, health & well-being is here for you
Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being<about:blank> (SCHW)! We are a department in the Division of Students that supports the mental health and well-being of students at York University.
We wanted to take a moment to let you know about the FREE services and supports we offer.
Peer-led Workshops
Our team of peer health educators host workshops on a variety of well-being topics including Mental Health 101, Nutrition Basics, Sleep for Better Grades, Healthier Coping Strategies, Self-Care, and much more. To see what is offered and to sign-up for a workshop, take a look here: https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/workshops<about:blank>
Individual Counselling
SCHW offers same-day and appointment-based counselling in a safe and non-judgemental space. University life can be challenging, and our team of counsellors are here to help you feel heard and understood. Simply book online for our walk-in services here. The online booking system opens every morning at 8:45 a.m. EST for same-day booking. Please check back in the system throughout the day. Spots may open as other students cancel. Student preferences regarding counsellor identities (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, etc.) will be considered for ongoing counselling/short-term therapy. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us, our services are confidential and no problem is too small. We are here for you!
Group Support
Some students may prefer to meet with peers for encouragement and support rather than – or in addition to – meeting with a counsellor one-to-one. If group support is something that interests you, you’re in luck! SCHW will be offering the following groups (all of which are facilitated or co-facilitated by counsellors) during 2022:
* LGBTQ2S+ Support Group
* A bi-weekly support group open to York’s LGBTQ2S+ students, hosted by SCHW counsellors who identify as part of the LGBTQ2S+ community.
* Process Group
* A weekly group led by a SCHW counsellor with a variety of discussion topics that change each session based on student needs. Sessions are held on Mondays and Tuesdays.
* Racialized Students Support Group
* A monthly group hosted by racialized counsellors that provides a safe space for BIPOC students to reflect on their identities and experiences.
* Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence
* A weekly support group for survivors of sexual violence co-facilitated with The Centre for Sexual Violence Response, Support & Education.
* Gay Men’s Process Group
* A weekly group committed to discussing issues related to the gay men and/or queer men community.
* Grief & Loss Support Group
* A safe and secure group where participants can process grief and find validation in a space focused on providing hope and support. Entry into this group is offered through referral from SCHW counsellors during individual appointments.
* Monthly Trans and Non-binary Support Group
* A group facilitated by a trans-masculine social worker who specializes in supporting trans and non-binary folx wishing to navigate gender.
To learn more about each group and/or how to connect, please visit:

Suicide Prevention & Awareness Certification

We will be giving out licences every month, so add your name here<about:blank>.
Note: The prompt will ask you to sign-in. Please sign-in with your entire York U Passport York credentials, e.g. [log in to unmask]<about:blank>. *However, if you have an email ending @my.yorku.ca, please replace that with @yorku.ca to access the application.
