Amid growing public concerns around COVID-19, post-secondary campuses in Ontario are continuing to support student mental health. CICMH has created and collated resources that may be helpful.
Registration is now open for the CICMH virtual conference! We are continuing with our theme from last year, “Dialogue to Action” with the addition of “The work continues” since we continue to work towards improving capacities on Ontario campuses in supporting student mental health.
The purpose of this toolkit is to give those working and/or studying within the post-secondary space the context, knowledge, and skills to begin reflecting on and implementing trauma-informed practice & care into their work. This toolkit does not hope to create experts in this diverse range of practices, but to offer readers a space to consider how trauma not only impacts those they interact with, but also themselves. We invite the reader to use this toolkit to treat themselves and others with care and compassion.
Student engagement strategies have varied across post-secondary institutions, especially with the varying needs of students in the past few years.
Human trafficking takes place in Canada and can happen to anyone. In this webinar, we're joined by Paola Carmagnani (she/her), from the Canadian Centre to End Human Trafficking to debunk myths and misperceptions about human trafficking in the Canadian context. We will also shed light into the conditions that make students vulnerable to exploitation, and expand on risks factors specific to international students, where trafficking intersects with immigration. Bearing in mind the ongoing conversation of curbing the rhetoric around newcomers, particularly the blaming of international students and refugees for the housing crisis and access to basic needs like food security; this workshop will also examine the business model in post-secondary education and address the root causes of human trafficking that lead to the circumstances of immigration status uncertainty for international students across Canada. The goal of the presentation is to equip participants with actionable information about how students are impacted, prevalent forms of trafficking, potential indicators and red flags as well as best practices to prevent and respond to occurrences.
