In 2021, Wellesley Institute partnered with the Mental Health Commission of Canada to investigate the impacts of COVID-19 on the mental health and well-being of racialized working-age adults living in the Greater Toronto Area. To present our new research findings, we are bringing together community leaders for a virtual panel discussion on March 30, 2022 at 12:00 p.m. EST. The event will be hosted by Wellesley Institute CEO, Dr. Kwame McKenzie, and feature the following speakers: - Sarah Sanford, Wellesley Institute
- Mauriene Tolentino, Mental Health Commission of Canada
- Aseefa Sarang, Across Boundaries
- Liben Gebremikael, TAIBU Community Health Centre
- Mithi Esguerra, Migrants Resource Centre Canada
At this event we will explore responses to address COVID-19-related inequities experienced by racialized communities to better understand how health systems and communities can prepare for the long-term mental health impacts of the pandemic. |
