Our Staff Thanksgiving Tree is up, and it's been amazing to see what everyone shared.

We each took a leaf and wrote down what we're thankful for this year. Some of the responses that stood out:

🧡 "Hugs from my kids after a long day"
🧡 "Thankful for beautiful moments with my family"
🧡 “Being able to learn and grow every day”

It's a good reminder of what matters most: the people we care about, the work we do for the community, and those small moments that make life good.

What are you thankful for?

Painful legacy of an Ontario residential school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VvVU9iFPj1s

“Why did it take a mass grave to prove what our communities had been saying for years about these places?”

Dawn Hill’s experience at the Mohawk Institute Residential School in Brantford, Ontario, is just one story that we’ve decided to highlight today. Many more stories deserve to be listened to, acknowledged, and given space.

Today, we honour residential school survivors, their families, and communities. We also remember the children who did not return home.

Consider what action you can take towards reconciliation beyond September 30.

Why do Indigenous topics cause such emotional discomfort? https://loom.ly/41n0LqY

“… There are very different ways of dealing with each of those emotional reactions, but they have one common factor – and it’s a lack of information and a lack of facts about what happened to us.”

As we approach National Day for Truth & Reconciliation on September 30, we are sharing a video featuring Pam Palmater, Professor & Chair in Indigenous Governance at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Professor Palmater discusses emotional reactions to Indigenous peoples’ histories and experiences and how education can move us from words to action.

For the second year in a row, we’ve had the opportunity to be a part of the biggest community wellness event at UTM!

Hundreds of students had the chance to connect and learn more about mental health supports. Thank you to everyone who dropped by our booth to learn about the Ontario Structured Psychotherapy Program.
