BOLD IDEAS: A CONVERSATION WITH EVERETT LAWRENCE (E.L.) ADAMS II – Tuesday, February 15, 2022 from 6:00pm-7:30pm
Date: Tuesday, February 15th, 2022
Time: 6:00PM – 7:30PM

Facilitators: Stefanie Fiore and Emery Alday
Fee: Free
Bold Ideas is a platform for citizens, activists and leaders to share their personal, career and life experiences and challenges with the community, and how they negotiated their life paths around these challenges. Join us on Tuesday, February 15th, 2022 from 6:00-7:30pm for a Bold Ideas session by E.L. Adams II entitled Hope for my Hippocampus: Black Mental Health between the US/Canadian Border.
E.L. Adams II graduated from Tennessee Technological University in Cookeville, Tennessee with a master’s degree in Educational and Counseling Psychology. E. L. created programs based on his thesis to combine music and mental health, and to allow for deep and safe conversations. E. L. has supported adolescents, families, school boards and communities with mental health and encouraging others to get the support that they need to develop, grow and manage their well-being. In our Bold Ideas discussion, E.L. will discuss some of his experiences on both sides of the American and Canadian border. Given that the hippocampus plays a major role in learning and memory, E.L. hopes to share his unique account of a black experience from what is embedded in his hippocampus: the things he has learned and remembered that have had an impact on his own mental health. E.L.’s daily occurrences have shown him that there are more similarities than differences between the U.S. and Canadian borders when it comes to racism. Through his presentation, E.L. hopes to highlight how he has managed to preserve his peace and to continue functioning at an optimal level with hope that new memories can be created that include acceptance and value of a Black man.
Please register for E.L.’s Bold Ideas session here: https://tinyurl.com/BOLDIDEAS150222.
We hope to see you at this insightful presentation!

At Calumet and Stong Colleges, we strive to foster inclusivity and to celebrate diversity. Our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) team implements programs that allow students to learn about intersectionality and the ways in which we can achieve inclusion and equity within our school community. In light of Black History Month, the Fostering Allyship workshop aims to engage with the York community by creating discussions around anti-racism and allyship. Students will have the opportunity to unlearn about the colonial definitions of racism and understand what it means to be anti-racist. The workshop is broken down into three parts, challenging what we think we know about racism, anti-racism in action: exploring power, privilege, and allyship, and racial equity demonstrated within the York Community.
In partnership with UCI & BSIP, Calumet and Stong Colleges invites you to come to the event!

BUILDING POWER: EMPOWERING WOMEN IN HEALTH PROFESSIONAL SKILLS WORKSHOP SERIES
Date: February 24th, March 3rd, March 10th
Time: 6:00pm - 7:15pm
Location: Online Webinar
Registration Link: https://www.empoweringwomeninhealth.org/our-events
Fee: Free
Event Description:
Despite being making up the overall majority in the field, women represent a stark minority in health leadership. According to the International Finance Corporation, 70%<https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/industry_ext_content/ifc_external_corporate_site/health/publications/womens+leadership+in+health> of 43 million<https://www.ifc.org/wps/wcm/connect/industry_ext_content/ifc_external_corporate_site/health/publications/womens+leadership+in+health> of women undersell their skills and don’t aim for leadership positions. Additionally, in 2017 it was reported that close to half of all female respondents working in health care believed it would take 25 years<https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/ecpe/challenges-facing-women-leaders-health-care/> or longer to achieve gender parity on the job. In spite of many research studies showing that women leaders in top management are linked to significantly increased profitability, it remains difficult for women to advance in health care organizations.
How can today's students prepare themselves to break the existing glass ceiling? EWIH has created Building Power to help you: we have a set of 3 distinct workshops hosted by healthcare leaders from diverse fields such as healthcare tech, healthcare law, and practicing physicians to help you in your interviews, mitigate issues of imposter syndrome, teach you how to build your portfolio and much more. Join us by attending Building Power for a stronger future.

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.

Student counselling, health & well-being is here for you
Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being<https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/> (SCHW) and welcome to the 2021-2022 school year! For those of you who are hearing about SCHW for the first time, we are a department in the Division of Students that supports the mental health and well-being of students at York University. As a new academic year begins, we wanted to take a moment to let you know about us and the FREE services and supports that are available to you this year.
Peer-led Workshops
Our team of peer health educators offer 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
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 call our reception line at (416)-736-5297<https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/individual-counselling> to connect with a counsellor for support. During your session, your counsellor will develop a goal with you, and help you move closer towards personal success. 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 2021-2022:
· LGBTQ2S+ Support Group
· Racialized Students Support Group
· Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence (in partnership with The Centre for Sexual Violence Response, Support & Education)

The Racialized Students Support Group will resume in January 2022. If you are interested in attending, please refer to this link for more details about this group and how to join: https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/racialized-students-support-group
SCHW’s Monthly Trans and Non-binary Support Group
Join our monthly online group to meet other York students navigating gender in a relaxed and safe space. Our group is facilitated by Jay Jonah, a trans-masculine social worker who specializes in supporting trans and non-binary folxs. This group is a space to share as much or as little as you want. Ask questions, just listen in, or chat and make some new friends! Open to all trans, non-binary, gender-non-conforming folxs, and those who are questioning their gender.
Suicide Prevention & Awareness Certification
SCHW is continuing to offer licences for ‘LivingWorks Start’ to the York U community. In just one hour online, LivingWorks Start teaches trainees to recognize when someone is thinking about suicide and connect them to help and support. We will be giving out licences every month, so add your name here<https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=GBNTNBFw1E-H8KQ4FsSb0AD0UWS0aLhGmccT5ec3asBUMDhaOEtKVTNRUEVXUlYxVDBZVkxWT041RyQlQCN0PWcu>.
