The Black Youth Mental Health Initiative (BYMHI for short) is back! The BYMHI is offering two new virtual workshops for Black youth between ages 13-29, who are living in Toronto/the GTA. Workshops will feature guest facilitator Adam Benn, and cover the topics of Building Healthy Relationships and Understanding Self-Care.
Workshop 1: Building Healthy Relationships
March 13, 6-7:30pm, virtual
What is a healthy relationship, and how can we know it is heathy? What are signs our relationship is going in a healthy direction, and what are some signs that it is time to walk away? How each of us defines a “healthy relationship” is unique and informed by our past experiences, our social identity, society and the media. This workshop will explore a “healthy relationship” using the “Relationship Game”, a tool developed to critically explore issues of power in relationships.
Workshop 2: Understanding Self-Care
March 20, 6-7:30pm, virtual
Self-Care is a word that is used on an almost daily basis. But what do we mean when we say self-care? During this workshop, participants will defineself-care, understand what self-care and what it is not and will spend some time exploring strategies for engaging in self-care.
Please email bymhi@ppt.on.ca to register or if you have any questions at all. We hope to hear from you!
