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
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.

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. Date: Wednesday June 29, 2022 Time: 1:00pm-2:00pm Registration Link: https://tinyurl.com/ASMA-NA-HI062022 Registration Deadline: Register at link above for meeting password.

Student counselling, health & well-being is here for you
Hello from Student Counselling, Health & Well-being<about:blank> (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.

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.

Please do not hesitate to reach out to us, our services are confidential and no problem is too small. We are here for you!

* Gay Men’s Process Group
* A weekly group committed to discussing issues related to the gay men and/or queer men community.
