You’re invited to an exclusively Black & Racialized Women’s Group that meets weekly to discuss the impact of this current fight for Racial Equality on everyday life and to collaboratively build a new Self-Care Toolkit specific to this season of COVID, George Floyd and Systemic, Structural Racism … in addition to random bits of hilarity that make our meetings fun 😂😂😂

Racial discrimination is known to be linked to stress and to various health conditions in people from First Nations communities. Resiliency—or the ability to bounce back from adversity—has been shown to play an important role in a person’s ability to cope with stress.

Ontario researchers conducted a study to find out if Aboriginal cultural resilience—or resilience that is based on traditional language, ceremonial activities, and the environment—would decrease stress associated with racial discrimination in people from First Nations communities.

Leading the way in Mental Health Training and Education

A new report released by the Racialized Populations and Mental Health and Addiction Community of Interest, highlights that there’s a greater need to collect race-based data in the justice system and use it to help racialized individuals access mental heath court diversion and other support services. The report explores the experiences of racialized individuals in need of mental health court support services and options to divert from the criminal justice system in Toronto.  

The Racialized Populations and Mental Health & Addictions Community of Interest (CoI) is a provincial forum for knowledge exchange and collaborative creation. Members of CoI will present on its most recent project which focused on the experiences of racialized persons with formal and informal mental health court diversion programs and practices in Toronto.

OPH along with over 10 community partners developed this video to help improve the mental health of culturally diverse populations who have recently moved to Canada.
