SUMMARY:Workshop: Incorporating Art in the Work with Children – Expressive Arts Therapy to Support Neurodivergent Newcomer Children
DESCRIPTION:Expressive arts therapy has shown benefits for children across various developmental stages\, as well as neurodiverse children who may struggle with traditional classroom settings and communication barriers. It allows for self-expression without the need for words\, reduces overstimulation\, and soothes the nervous systems\, encourages creativity and collaboration\, and provides a calming and structured activity that empowers children to utilize their creativity and build on their strengths. \nThis workshop will examine the advantages of expressive arts therapy that can be applied to newcomer children from early years to school age\, who face unique challenges due to the complex emotions that may arise during their journey of settling into a new community or school. It will be an opportunity for those who work with newcomer children in the settlement sector to learn about how incorporating art and concepts of expressive arts therapy can support their work. \nAs there will be experiential pieces in this workshop\, we invite you to prepare the following basic art materials if you wish to participate in the activities:\n• Paper for writing or a journal\n• Pens/pencils for writing\n• Basic art materials (paper\, pastels\, markers\, pencil crayons) \n  \nTo register\, click here

SUMMARY:Community Event: Virtual Information Session: Mental Health and Wellness for International Post-Secondary Students
DESCRIPTION:In this Virtual Information Session\, frontline staff will learn about the mental health challenges that International Post-Secondary students face\, and actions that can promote wellness. Speakers will include representatives from settlement service organizations and post-secondary institutions who will share their multi-faceted experiences that are applicable to all types of service providers. \nMental health challenges can threaten International Post-Secondary students’ well-being\, jeopardizing their current academic and future aspirations. Financial stressors can be challenging\, with rising tuition\, food and housing costs exacerbating the number of international students living in unsuitable housing and/or accessing food banks.  As full-time studies are a requirement for a work permit\, it is difficult to balance academics with needed work hours.  Additionally\, as with many newcomers\, International Post-Secondary Students face culture shock and social isolation\, as well as worries about their families or conflicts back in their home country.
