Express to Destress: Let’s Talk Mental Health!

Join SLYE, Yorktown Family Services, Digital Wellness, and CICS Canada for our Express to Destress: Let’s Talk Mental Health Roadshow! This session will cover how to stay motivated during online schooling and cope with the stresses we're experiencing. Youth will be able to ask any questions they may have during our Q&A Session.

Youth who actively participate will be eligible to receive Volunteer Hours.

Online Roadshow Ground Rules

• Be Curious, Open, and Respectful - call in not out/throw sunshine not shade
• Confidentiality - don’t speak for others without explicit permission, don’t share something communicated in a private or safe space.
• One mic - one voice at a time
• Take Space/Make Space - if you are usually quiet challenge yourself to take more space, and if you usually talk a lot be mindful to leave room for quieter voices
• Be conscious of intent vs. impact - no matter intention you’re responsible for your impact
• We strive to create a safer space that is inclusive and accessible for all. Anyone who engages in actions that promote discrimination or hate of any kind (such as racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, Islamophobia, or ableism) will be removed from the program immediately and banned from all other SLYE activities indefinitely.

By signing up for this workshop, you are agreeing to all of these ground rules.
