The Young Canadians Roundtable on Health will be hosting their second webinar! Registration is now open for The YCRH Series: Coping with COVID-19 as Youth which will be happening on Monday, March 1, 2021 at 5 p.m. EST and will primarily feature organizations and youth speakers from Ontario including YouthNet/RéseauAdo and mindyourmind.ca. Our speakers will be going over strategies on stress management, productivity, self-care, and self-compassion that Canadian youth can implement in their lives during the pandemic.
The webinar will feature the following speakers:
1. mindyourmind is a non-profit mental health program that engages youth, young adults, and the professionals who serve them to co-create tools and resources to build capacity and resilience. In this workshop, you will learn about coping strategies, tools, and mental health resources you can incorporate into their daily lives during the COVID-19 pandemic.
2. Emma Hamill grew up in Northern Ontario and has since settled in Victoria, BC to attend the University of Victoria. She is currently completing her Masters of Community Development where she hopes to marry her passion for non-profits with her appreciation for art. In this workshop, you will learn more about using art as a tool for coping, stress management, and advocacy.
3. Zaamilah Balasubramaniam is the founder of Zen with Zaam and is a Hatha Yoga Teacher. Hatha yoga includes a flow of Asanas (yoga poses) and Pranayama (breathing techniques). The skills you acquire from this practice allow you to connect your body, mind and soul, ultimately preparing you for a deeper spiritual practice.
4. YouthNet/RéseauAdo (YNRA) is a for-youth-by-youth mental health promotional organization run through the Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO). YNRA's two awesome Youth Facilitators (Madison and Tessa) will test your knowledge with some trivia. Get up and move along to practice what we've learned, and challenge yourself to explore ways to take care of your mental health!
The webinar will also have a youth panel who will talk about their experiences during the pandemic and what they’ve been doing to cope.
