(OR) Building a Relationship with Plants & Language

Join Indigenous Initiatives and Student Health & Wellness for Building a Relationship with Plants & Language in the Medicine Wheel Teaching Garden. We will be identifying and labelling plants in English and Anishnaabemowin, in addition to getting our hands dirty in the garden. Refreshments will be provided! We hope to see you there.

(OR) safeTALK

safeTALK is a 4-hour, in-person workshop to build skills in suicide prevention. Participants will learn how to recognize and engage with someone thinking about suicide, overcome attitudes that act as barriers to help, talk openly about suicide and connect with intervention resources for further support.

Through presentations, audiovisuals, small group discussion and scenario practice, you will learn a 4-step TALK model and practical steps to help activate a suicide alert that connects people having thoughts of suicide with more specialized intervention care and relevant resources.
