Racialized Students Support Group
Student Counselling, Health & Well-being offers a drop-in support group to York’s Black, Indigenous, or a Person of Colour (BIPOC) student community. The Racialized Students Support Group is a group co-facilitated by two racialized counsellors at SCHW and the Traditional Knowledge Keeper from The Centre for Aboriginal Student Services (CASS). The drop-in group provides a safe space for BIPOC students to reflect on their identities, experiences, and challenges and to build community. A focus of the group will be placed on processing and healing from racial trauma.
