In collaboration with Donna Richards, Hellen Gateri, and the York Research Chair in Youth and Contexts of Inequity, YouthREX is excited to co-host a Youth Work Teach-In for the Ontario youth sector on pedagogies, perspectives, and practices on Black youth mental health.
The Teach-In will include a keynote presentation, engaging workshops, and conversations that explore how race shapes the mental health experiences of Black youth, and the importance of an anti-Black racism framework in transforming oppressive practices and policies.
Our opening keynote speaker, Mercy Shibemba, is an award-winning youth activist from the UK who uses her story of growing up with HIV to educate, challenge stigma, and inspire!
There will also be a spoken word performance by The Poet MJ.
Join us to explore pedagogies, perspectives, and practices for Black youth mental health!
