Community of Care

These group care sessions were created to support the community as the trial continues for the man facing terror-related murder charges in the deaths of four members of the Afzaal family and provide a safe and supportive space for Muslim staff, faculty, students and allies to share their experiences, pray and connect during this difficult time.

Sessions for Fall 2024 are to be announced.

Journey Together: Sharing Our Lived Experiences. A Support Group for Black and Racialized Students

This is a support group for Black and Racialized Students. This wellness group aims to create a safe and healing space to share race-related lived experiences including race-related stress, navigating environments, renewal and care. Together in sharing our common lived experiences, we draw a collective voice to:

  • not feel alone
  • process and learn from each other's wisdom
  • create a community to uplift and support one another
  • empower through collective healing, growth, and transformation

This group will be co-facilitated by two counsellors from Health & Wellness Services who are themselves persons from racialized backgrounds.

Sessions run bi-weekly. Students can register throughout the term. To register or for more information, email health@uwo.ca.

*Once signed up, a group facilitator will contact you to do an individual intake which will provide an opportunity to discuss details of the group more fully. Students may join throughout the term.

International Students

International students can seek support from 澳门六合彩开奖预测 International's team of International Student Advisors.
