UPSA Podcast season 2, episode 3: Mental health in an unequal world
Visit tinyurl.com/S2E3withEWIHandGHSA <http://tinyurl.com/S2E3withEWIHandGHSA> to listen to the whole episode!
This year, for World Mental Health Day, the World Federation of Mental Health (WFMH) selected the theme “Mental Health in an Unequal World.” This particular theme was selected to highlight the various disparities that exist in our world when it comes to accessing mental health and how various marginalized populations face elevated risks in mental health. Why do certain groups face disproportionate rates of mental health conditions?
In this episode of What’s UP(SA)?, we have partnered with our friends Farwa and Asma from the Global Health Students’ Association (GHSA) and Tatiana and Fiona from the Empowering Women in Health (EWIH) to discuss the factors behind good mental health, how various marginalized groups face a disproportionate level of mental health issues and how to maintain your mental health in the midst of the pandemic!

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)
· Virtual Trauma-Informed Yoga Group
· Gay Men’s Process Group
· Grief & Loss Group
To learn more about each group and/or how to connect, please visit:
