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.

Date: Tuesday, February 15^th, 2022 

Time: 6:00PM – 7:30PM 

Registration Link:  https://tinyurl.com/BOLDIDEAS150222

Registration Deadline: Register at link above for meeting password. Password is emailed 1 hour before start time.

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 15^th, 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.

 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:

https://counselling.students.yorku.ca/group-counselling-schw

Racialized Students Support Group

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.  

 

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]. *However, if you have an email ending @my.yorku.ca, please replace that with @yorku.ca to access the application.
