Janet is a nurse by background and is currently in a Professional Practice Specialist position at Ontario Home Care Organization. She attended several different educational institutions to pursue her professional journey, ranging from University of Toronto where she graduated in 2008 with an Honors bachelor’s in science, specializing in genes, genetics, and biotechnology. Then she attended York University to pursue a bachelor’s in nursing and graduated in 2010. From there she went to George Brown College to earn a Nurse Educator Certificate in 2015. She then graduated from Toronto Metropolitan University with a master’s in nursing in 2020. Looking back at her journey at York University, she wishes that she attended more alumni events and had the opportunity to speak with role models, that is why she is volunteering now so she can give back to the community. The next steps in her career revolve around identifying gaps in her knowledge and is in the process of consulting with colleagues and mentors to plan the next phase of her career.

Funding Futures for Women – wednesday, June 1, 2022 from 6:00pm-8:00pm

 

[log in to unmask]" id="x_Picture_x0020_16" alt="FUNDING FUTURES FOR WOMEN – Wednesday, June 1, 2022 from 6:00pm-8:00pm EWIH presents our next event: Funding Futures for Women! Financial literacy is the acquisition and application of financial skills. This includes learning how to budget, understanding the mechanisms of credit, investing disposable income, and saving for retirement. These skills are critical to the quality of life as positive financial outcomes are associated with higher total household wealth, lower financial stress, and higher expected retirement income. Research has found that women, throughout their entire lives, and across many countries, have lower levels of financial knowledge than men. This leaves them with much poorer long-term health outcomes and significantly lower quality of life than men. To bridge this gap, EWIH introduces Funding Futures for Women, a case competition to generate solutions for current financial issues which affect women across Canada. This single day event will gather participants in a brief competition to produce the efficient and well-rounded solutions of social issues to build financial literacy skills. Judged by a panel of female professionals, this competition gives participants the opportunity to network with leaders in the healthcare and financial fields as well as build their social network with future women in health. After gaining critical evaluation by the panelists and partaking in significant discussion, participants will receive a certificate to recognize their financial literacy skills! This event will take place virtually on June 1st from 6 – 8 pm! Registration remains open till June 1st @ 10:00 am. All registered participants are entered for the chance to win one of many gift card prizes in our registration raffle!

EWIH presents our next event: Funding Futures for Women! 

Financial literacy is the acquisition and application of financial skills. This includes learning how to budget, understanding the mechanisms of credit, investing
disposable income, and saving for retirement. These skills are critical to the quality of life as positive financial outcomes are associated with higher total household wealth, lower financial stress, and higher expected retirement income. Research has found that women, throughout their entire lives, and across many countries, have lower levels of financial knowledge than men. This leaves them with much poorer long-term health outcomes and significantly lower quality of life than men.

 

To bridge this gap, EWIH introduces Funding Futures for Women, a case competition to generate solutions for current financial issues which affect women across Canada. This single day event will gather participants in a brief competition to produce the efficient and well-rounded solutions of social issues to build financial literacy skills. Judged by a panel of female professionals, this competition gives participants the opportunity to network with leaders in the healthcare and financial

fields as well as build their social network with future women in health. After gaining critical evaluation by the panelists and partaking in significant discussion, participants will receive a certificate to recognize their financial literacy skills!

 

This event will take place virtually on June 1st from 6 – 8 pm! Registration remains open till June 1st @ 10:00 am.

 

All registered participants are entered for the chance to win one of many gift card prizes in our registration raffle!

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.
