This was an opportunity for education and awareness, collective relationship building, and a space to practice wellness. We discussed issues around how newcomer youth are getting or could get involved in the international development sector, anti-racism, stigma around mental health, as well as awareness about available resources and sharing self-care strategies.
There were two available workshop dates:August 20, 2020 and August 27, 2020, both from 6:00 to 7:30 pm (EDT). Participants were encouraged to attend one of the sessions as the workshop content will be the same on both dates. Please note that these workshops were not be recorded to ensure that it is a safe space.
