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.

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.

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 Thursday, September 15^th, 2022, from 7 to 8 pm for an engaging workshop called “3 Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being that can help us all” hosted by Medicine Song Woman, Brenda MacIntyre.  

 

In September, we recognize Truth and Reconciliation Day. The day honors the lost children and survivors of residential schools, their families, and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process.  Known by her Indigenous name Medicine Song Woman, York U alumna Brenda MacIntyre has shared her melodic mesmerizing voice, healing music and spiritual teachings with appreciative audiences of 30 to 3,000 across North America and thousands online. The London Ontario-based Juno Award-winning singer and keynote speaker has been featured on CTV, CityNews Toronto, APTN, Global and a front-page headline in the Toronto Star. She was a 2021 Pow Wow Pitch semi-finalist and a 2021 Ontario Arts Council Indigenous Arts Award nominee. Brenda’s goosebump-giving keynotes and workshops are highly interactive and evocative. Her Picking Up the Pieces 13 Moon Resilience and Reawakening program and Medicine Song Healing work help women to get through trauma, grief, and exhaustion, while embodying resilience and remembering who they are.

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

o    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

o    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

o    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

o    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

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

·         Grief & Loss Support Group

o    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

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