Working closely with the Board’s mental health clinicians and the Alliance of Educators for Muslim Students and the Network of Educators for Jewish Learners, the Board is providing sessions of support from identity-specific practitioners to support the well-being of staff, students and families. These sessions are free of charge and anyone in YRDSB may attend.
Location: The session will be available via the MS Teams Live link for families and caregivers of Muslim students. To ensure safety and protect the privacy of attendees, participants will not be able to see who else is on the call or access a public chat. Questions can be submitted directly to the event hosts.
The session will be led by Tarak Ahmed from Naseeha. Naseeha provides a peer support helpline for youth experiencing personal challenges, including those of Muslim identities
