Val-YU-Ing our peers! – Thursday, April 7, 2022 from 6:00pm-7:00pm

Registration Link: https://tinyurl.com/EDI070422 

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

Facilitators: Stefanie Fiore and Emery Alday

Fee: FREE

 

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. One of our programs includes a workshop called ValYUing Our Peers!

 

Whether we are learning in a physical classroom or through an online format, it is inevitable that as students, we will experience some challenging social interactions. Disagreeing about a controversial topic, using harmful speech, and misusing pronouns or terms associated with racially minoritized groups are just some of the ways in which conflict can arise among peers. In the ValYUing Our Peers workshop, Community Development Coordinators, Stefanie and Emery, will prepare you to prevent and deal with such instances of conflict. We will discuss some types of social challenges that may occur in an educational setting, how to engage in mutually respectful dialogue, how to manage disagreements, and how to navigate various issues that come up through small group work. Attendees will also engage in some interactive scenarios and a concluding Q&A session.

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. 

 

Eligibility 

This training is mandatory for all peer leaders affiliated with Calumet and Stong Colleges (both paid and volunteer roles). If you are interested in a peer leadership position and/or want to develop your leadership skills, we invite you to register.

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

 

Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being (SCHW)! We are a department in the Division of Students that supports the mental health and well-being of students at York University.

We wanted to take a moment to let you know about the FREE services and supports we offer.

Peer-led Workshops 
Our team of peer health educators host 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 book online for our walk-in services here. The online booking system opens every morning at 8:45 a.m. EST for same-day booking. Please check back in the system throughout the day. Spots may open as other students cancel. Student preferences regarding counsellor identities (e.g. BIPOC, LGBTQ2S+, etc.) will be considered for ongoing counselling/short-term therapy. 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 2022:

• LGBTQ2S+ Support Group

• A bi-weekly support group open to York’s LGBTQ2S+ students, hosted by SCHW counsellors who identify as part of the LGBTQ2S+ community.

• Process Group

• A weekly group led by a SCHW counsellor with a variety of discussion topics that change each session based on student needs. Sessions are held on Mondays and Tuesdays.

• Racialized Students Support Group

• A monthly group hosted by racialized counsellors that provides a safe space for BIPOC students to reflect on their identities and experiences.

• Support Group for Survivors of Sexual Violence

• A weekly support group for survivors of sexual violence co-facilitated with The Centre for Sexual Violence Response, Support & Education.

• Gay Men’s Process Group

• A weekly group committed to discussing issues related to the gay men and/or queer men community.

• Grief & Loss Support Group

• A safe and secure group where participants can process grief and find validation in a space focused on providing hope and support. Entry into this group is offered through referral from SCHW counsellors during individual appointments.

• Monthly Trans and Non-binary Support Group

• A group facilitated by a trans-masculine social worker who specializes in supporting trans and non-binary folx wishing to navigate gender.

To learn more about each group and/or how to connect, please visit:

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

 

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. Otherwise, you will receive an error message. This application is open to all students, faculty, and staff members.

 

keep.meSAFE by guard.me

SCHW continues to partner with York International to offer all York students, located anywhere globally free, 24/7 access to counselling and mental health supports through KeepMeSafe. Topics addressed through supports include managing stress due to financial challenges, dealing with feeling lonely or homesick, facing tensions at home, harbouring suicidal tendencies, adjusting to life in Canada, and more. KeepMeSafe offers online resources and supports as well as a phone line to connect students to a mental health professional in their local region. You can access resources and connect with a counsellor through the MySSP app or by calling the toll-free number through the website below:
