The HH Student-Focused Roundtable also aims to be at the forefront of trends in the workplace so that the Faculty of Health may adopt and incorporate these trends within student transition and orientation, student leadership training, and student career exploration to prepare HH students for a life of success.

The HH Student-Focused Roundtable will include undergraduate and graduate students, recent graduates and established alumni, from all five (5) HH Academic Units.

All contributors to the Roundtable are considered equal partners in its success. Roundtable Partners can attend and/or contribute to any number of the Roundtable conversations/conferences.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI): HH students and alum from all backgrounds are welcome. Actually, the more diverse the Roundtable Partners are, the more effective the Roundtable will be. We welcome and encourage bold thinking and diverse ideas.

HH Priorities and CCSC Strategic Plan: This initiative meets HH's piorities and CCSC's Strategic Plan, as well as York U's University Academic Plan.

Meeting format: Until further notice, all meetings will take place virtually via Zoom.

Bold Ideas: A conversation with Erin Cochrane – Thursday, October 14, 2021 from 4:30pm-6:00pm

 

We have co-evolved alongside our allies in nature; plants, herbs, animals, mushrooms, throughout our existence. Mushrooms are agreed to be one of the oldest recorded living organisms on this planet. After being around for so long, there are a few things we could learn from their wisdom.

 

Humans are now consciously evolving at an exponential rate. But what often happens during evolutions or transformations, are series of breakdowns, breakthroughs and leaving old ways behind. Erin shares her experiences with loss and grief, exploration of unconventional ways of living, and healing through community and the teachings of fungi. She looks into what challenging normative systems and learning from and modelling “modern life” after intentional communities, and the fungal queendom could be like. And our opportunity through radical vulnerability and authenticity to achieve higher service to ourselves and others.

Student Equity & Diversity Survey – Listening to YU: Be Seen. Be Heard. Take the Census.

 

Completing the Student Equity & Diversity Census is an important step toward identifying and eliminating barriers to access within York University.

 

We know that asking about a person’s identity can be uncomfortable, and we will do so with sensitivity. We consulted students and community members when developing the questions so that we were respectful of the varying points of view of our racialized students, Indigenous students, women, people with disabilities, and members of the LGBTQ2S+ community.

 

By better understanding you – who you are and how you identify – we can provide targeted services, resources and supports to our community’s equity-seeking groups and build a more inclusive community to support the academic success of our students.

• Step 1: Access the Student Equity & Diversity Census here.
• Step 2: Log into your Passport York account.
• Step 3: Complete the Census and opt in for your chance to win an iPad Pro, a $100 Amazon gift card, a $50 Uber Eats gift card or $10 to your YU-Card. To read and understand the contest rules and find more details about the prizes and how to opt in, check out Prizes & Incentives below.

The Black Student Mentorship Program (BSMP) is recruiting Team Members

 

Now Recruiting for:

• Events Committee Volunteers
• Social Media Director
• Marketing/Promotions Director
• Recruitment Coordinators

 

Candidates from every Faculty of Health department are encouraged to apply.
Please apply through this form: https://forms.gle/EE5nURzRT4KZuL6z7

What is BSMP?

The Black Students Mentorship Program (BSMP) is a brand new student-led initiative at York University supported by Agents of Change. At the helm are students from the Faculty of Health with a mission to address and help remediate the persistent lack of Black representation in the population makeup of graduate students and professionals in health-related graduate studies and professions.

 

What is the goal?

The goal of BSMP is to establish mentorship and community for Black undergraduate students across the Faculty of Health, connecting them to each other and to Black graduate students, alumni, scholars and professionals in the field of health.

 

What is the desired outcome?

The desired outcome would be an increase in confidence, access and capacity for Black students, and ultimately an increase in the population of Black graduate students in Faculty of Health programs and Black professionals in various health professions. The added benefit of this outcome will be an increase in diversity in research and innovation streams as we evolve to include the voices, experiences and expertise of Black individuals in academia, scholarship, research and/or professional careers in health.

Student counselling, health & well-being is here for you

 

Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being (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 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:

You made it to the end of the email! We know that there are lots of announcements and information about services being shared with students during this time of year so we’ve attached a resource you may find helpful. Please do not feel pressure to contact the “right” department from the get-go, we are always happy to provide referrals to other campus services and will do our best (with your consent) to ensure your needs are met in an accessible and timely manner. 

I’d like to end this email with the encouraging words of our colleagues from the Office of Student Community Relations: “This is a semester like no other. As we all adjust to new ways of being around each other, let’s show kindness online and in person as we return to campus this Fall.” – and also, remember to be kind to yourself.

 

On behalf of SCHW, all the best for a successful, happy, and healthy school year!
