CCSC are committed to inspiring learning, leadership and citizenship and value mentorship and being student centric, engaged, collaborative, and bold.  

 

The success of our students depends on our collective willingness and ability to listen, to be kind, to look after ourselves and each other, to work together, and to lead with Respect, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. We do not condone or tolerate racism, prejudice or discrimination in CCSC. We are committed to supporting our CCSC Peer Leaders and Student Organizations and our York and CCSC community to stop anti-Black racism and systemic discrimination of all kinds. We will also collaborate with others to strengthen our student success programming to help our Colleges and students foster a just and fair world.  For more information and to connect with us, email [log in to unmask] or visit our website https://ccscss.info.yorku.ca/online-student-support/

INDIGENOUS CIRCLE WORKSHOP: INDIGENIZATION PROCESS WITHIN POST-SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS IN CANADA WITH ASMA-NA-HI ANTOINE – Wednesday, June 29, 2022, from 1:00pm-2:00pm EDT

 

At Calumet and Stong Colleges, we strive to foster positive and respectful relationships with all community members. Our Indigenous Circle program allows students to access events and resources that help them learn about and strengthen their relationships with the Indigenous community. We invite you to join us via Zoom on Wednesday, June 29th, 2022, from 1-2pm for a wonderful workshop called “Indigenization Process within Post-Secondary Institutions in Canada” hosted by Asma-na-hi Antoine.

 

June is National Indigenous Peoples Month and honouring National Indigenous Peoples Day but what does it mean to post-secondary institutions.

 

Asma-na-hi will share stories and life experiences along her academic journey into career opportunities. She has had the privilege of learning from Indigenous scholars, mentors who have become friends, and engaging with National and International Indigenous communities. Of course, along her journey, she has stated it did not come without trial and error using different innovative modalities tied to family values, culture, traditions, and ceremonies.

 

Asma-na-hi has utilized various skills in different academic institutions and other non-profit Indigenous organizations as an Indigenous counsellor, family counsellor, and educational and career advisor. Asma-na-hi believes her life and work are connected to a strong foundation of Indigenous ways of knowing and being used in the way she communicates, trains, and facilitates teachings about reconciliation, decolonization, and the history of Indigenous people. She continues to walk between two worlds: Indigenous and non-Indigenous and is recognized for her need to build and sustain a culturally safe place for all.

EDI SERIES: Allyship Workshop – Thursday, June 30th, 2022 from 6:00pm-7:00pm EDT

Time: 6:00 – 7:00 PM

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

Facilitators: Natascha Ibowski and Muskan Sehgal 

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 for the month of June includes a presentation and workshop on the concept of Allyship. 

 

As we near the end of Pride Month, we wanted to highlight the importance of being a good ally. In this workshop, we want to address the meaning of being an ally, what that entails, and how that looks like in real situations. This presentation also looks at definitions that are used by folks in the LGBTQ+ community, and resources that are available to students, both academically and socially, in the post-secondary setting. We hope to provide additional insight regarding the topic and support the overall initiative of Pride Month.

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:

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.

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.
