Today I was so happy to lead our 3rd Annual CMHA Ontario Virtual Cooking Class to celebrate #MentalHealthWeek! This year we made a 3-course dinner: Asparagus Tart appetizer, Baked Noodles entrée w/ lots of veg, and Apple Blossoms for dessert :) Thanks to everyone who joined in!
With a heavy heart + lots of tears I say goodbye to CMHA Ontario Thank you all so much for the kindness that you have shown me, it meant the world to me. On my last day, pictured w/ the nation-wide suicide prevention program that I helped to create #TalkToday I will miss you all!
Delivered my final virtual workshop today educating #SocialWorkers on #discrimination #mentalhealth & supporting individuals experiencing #racism using #trauma informed care approaches. Thank you OASW Deepy Sur - what a pleasure collaborating with you! ❤️ Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work
