SUMMARY:National Indigenous History Month
DESCRIPTION:National Indigenous History Month\nOn June 1\, the University of Toronto celebrates the beginning of National Indigenous History Month. Strong advocacy from representatives of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis communities led to the creation of National Indigenous History Month in 2009 and National Indigenous Peoples Day (formerly National Aboriginal Day) in 1996. Both honour the distinct cultures of First Nations\, Inuit\, and Métis communities and encourages widespread recognition of the accomplishments and resilience of Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island.  \nOn June 21\, we also celebrate National Indigenous Peoples Day\, which coincides with the summer solstice and affirms the traditional importance of this time for many Indigenous peoples and communities. \nLearn more via U of T’s  Division of People Strategy\, Equity & Culture.

SUMMARY:Pride Month
DESCRIPTION:Pride Month \nPride has many meanings: it is a catalyst for change; a time to commemorate and celebrate; and an opportunity to express collective support and advocacy for 2SLGBTQ+ rights worldwide. The celebration of Pride was born out of the Stonewall Riots of 1969\, where protests and demonstrations erupted in response to police raids of the Stonewall Inn\, a popular Greenwich Village gay bar in New York. Pride in Toronto is rooted in community advocacy and organizing. The raids marked a turning point for Toronto’s gay community\, highlighting the need to advance 2SLGBTQ+ rights locally and worldwide.  \nClick here for a full listing of U of T Pride events hosted by the Sexual and Gender Diversity Office

Westbrook\, MSW & PhD Student\, FIFSW\nAbout The Talk\nSimulation-based Training uses trained actors as standardized clients and recreates real-life conditions to provide a realistic experience for social work students and new or experienced social workers. Simulation training can help social workers safely practice their skills in an environment similar to the complex situations they will encounter in their practice. This panel will outline how simulation is used in the classroom with MSW students and how it is being utilized in community organizations with social workers and other social service professionals. \nAbout The Speakers\nMegan Davies has an MSW from the FIFSW (1997) and over 25 years of post-MSW experience in the areas of children’s mental health\, pediatric health care as well as working at the FIFSW for more than 10 years in a variety of roles. In addition to supervising MSW practicum students in several community settings\, Megan has worked as a student advisor in the FIFSW’s Indigenous and Trauma Resiliency (ITR) field of study\, as a student advisor with international MSW students\, and since July 2020 Megan has been the coordinator of the FIFSW’s Simulation Program which offers MSW students experiential learning opportunities in the classroom setting to practice direct social work skills interviewing simulated clients. \nAndrea W. Westbrook (she/her) is a PhD Student at the Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work at the University of Toronto. She received her Master of Social Work degree\, with a specialization in health and mental health\, from the University of Toronto and her Bachelor of Social Work degree from Toronto Metropolitan University. She also holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from OCAD University\, where she explored the integration of her social justice and arts-based practices. Her PhD research is focused on non-policing approaches for community-based mental health crisis interventions. \nOutside of her academic work\, Andrea is currently the manager of the Toronto Community Crisis Service (TCCS) team in the downtown central and downtown east neighbourhoods of Toronto. Andrea has been a registered social worker for over 10 years\, predominantly in the downtown east of Toronto\, working within the HIV sector\, in community mental health\, and with people who are street-involved. Throughout her work\, she has seen the importance of delivering a diverse range of support needs and styles\, and she loves discussing how we can be creative within our approaches to this work. She feels privileged to be invited into the communities she gets to work in and to have personal stories of strength and resiliency shared with her. She doesn’t take this privilege for granted. \n\n
