Thursday, February 10, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. ET

Guest Speaker: Kregg Hetherington, Ph.D. (Concordia University)
RSVP online at: https://yorku.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_lwEL2xprQw6GqESl7LskyQ
About the Documentary
Buried Seeds (Semillas en la Tierra) looks at peasants in Southern Costa Rica as a people who are diverse in many ways, yet proudly share a common identity, suffer similar challenges to their way of life, and hold common values dear. Despite the hardships of their rural way of life, they struggle to maintain it and critique the structural forces that adverse them. Buried Seeds tells this story through the words of twenty narrators, both men and women, young and old, landless and landholders, all of them peasants. This episode was made by the Las Nubes Project in the Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change (EUC) and the Faculty of Health (FoH) at York University in collaboration with the Universidad Técnica Nacional de Costa Rica and York Libraries and the financial support of EUC, FoH, York International and York Libraries.
About the Grounded Project
Grounded is a series of short documentaries filmed in rural Costa Rica on issues around environmental sustainability, biodiversity conservation, health, and human well-being, with the idea of revealing structural elements that constrain the pursuit of social and ecological wellbeing, as well as the opportunities that these grounded experiences offer for alternative ways of living.

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.

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:

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>.
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]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. *However, if you have an email ending @my.yorku.ca, please replace that with @yorku.ca to access the application.
