The CICMH Virtual Conference Registration is Now Open!
November 1, 2023
Dialogue is a critical step in the process of shaping change; it allows us to share ideas, work through logic, and problem-solve, together. However, this process brings us nowhere without being followed by action. This year’s conference theme, Dialogue to Action, invites us to engage in that process in its entirety. Not just talking about decolonization but doing it. Not just discussing the whole campus approach but actively participating in it. Throughout the conference, attendees will be encouraged to take initiative, put in the effort, and make moves to bring our collective vision of a healthy campus to reality.
Episode 14 – Young Caregivers in Post-secondary with Fiona Lacey and Victoria MacMillan
In this episode, our guests Fiona Lacey (Program Lead for Peer Support and Young Caregivers at the Ontario Caregiver Organization (OCO)) and Victoria MacMillan (a recent Toronto Metropolitan University graduate and OCO placement student) will discuss young caregivers in post-secondary. Listen to the episode to hear how campus staff and faculty can support post-secondary students who are also young caregivers and learn more about the Ontario Caregiver Organization.
Student Housing Insecurity
As a social determinant of health, housing can have an enormous impact on student mental health. In this webinar, we are joined by Rylan Kinnon, founder and CEO of SpacesShared, as well as Sarah Stackhouse from Georgian College, one of the SpacesShared partner institutions. SpacesShared is a home-share program that pairs students with older adults. Our guests will provide a presentation on student housing insecurity, and then explore systemic solutions to the issue, including the SpacesShared platform.
Accessibility and Accommodations
The Accessibility & Accommodations Toolkit is a guide for everyone in the campus community outside of accessibility services to learn how best to support post-secondary students with disabilities.
