SUMMARY:FIFSW-MSW Truth and Reconciliation Collective Meet and Greet
DESCRIPTION:The FIFSW-MSW Truth and Reconciliation Collective was formed in 2022 when a group of settler students came together to deepen our understanding of the Calls to Action and explore ways to address the ongoing impacts of colonization on the First Nations\, Métis\, and Inuit Peoples we work with. We also recognized the need to challenge the systems that perpetuate harm within our profession and educational practices. Over time\, our collective has grown to include members from all FIFSW streams\, extending beyond settlers. We are now seeking new members to continue our advocacy and initiatives\, with a particular focus on Call to Action #1. \n\n\nIf you are interested in joining the Collective or want more information\, please join us at our Meet and Greet (open to all MSW students): Tuesday September 24th from 12:15pm to 1:15pm \n\n\n**This event is open to all FIFSW MSW and PhD students**

SUMMARY:EDI Speaker Series: Lin Fang- Anti-Asian Racism and Social Work- Room 548
DESCRIPTION:EDI Speaker Series: Lin Fang- Anti-Asian Racism and Social Work \nAll MSW students at FIFSW are welcome. Registration is not required for this event. \n \nBiography:\n\nLin Fang is an Associate Professor and the endowed Factor-Inwentash Chair in Children’s Mental Health. She is also the Founder and Director of FIFSW’s Talk It Out Counseling Clinic. With over 10 years of postgraduate clinical experience\, Lin’s program of research focuses on advancing the theoretical and empirical knowledge of positive child and youth development through etiology and intervention research as well as community-based research and services. Versed with a range of research methodologies and advanced statistics\, Lin has published and presented widely in the areas of adolescent substance use\, information and communication technologies (ICTs)\, and mental health and cross-cultural experiences among immigrant communities. \nIn recent years\, Lin has concentrated her scholarship on community-based research\, examining how neighborhood and structural factors shape lived experiences of young people\, and how young people\, in turn\, engage and understand the world they live. Her research uses community-based participatory and arts-based methods. Some of her projects include ’This is My Regent Park’: Perspectives from Young People\, a SSHRC-funded project that unpacked young people’s place-knowledges to understand how they define and relate to their neighbourhood of Regent Park as Regent Park is undergoing a major redevelopment; and My Script My Voice\, a university-community collaboration to empower Asian youth and families in the face of Anti-Asian Racism (AAR). Currently\, she is the Principal Investigator for Project APPA\, a 3-year research project funded by SSHRC that utilizes participatory action research to work with Asian parents and other stakeholders to promote capacity building\, build knowledge and resources\, and curate an Asian-centred approach against AAR. \nComing from a community organizing background\, Lin takes pride in advancing social work while doing social work in the community. During the pandemic\, Lin conceived and launched the Talk It Out Counseling Clinic\, where supervised MSW students at FIFSW provide free short-term counseling services and community-based mental health initiatives to communities that face multiples challenges\, as well as those who from Black and other racialized communities. In its first 2.5 years\, the Clinic has trained 39 MSW students to provide services to over 450 clients and residents in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Today\, as we transition through the pandemic\, Talk It Out continues to serve and innovate\, striving to be a mental health hub that enables trained social work students to work with communities that need them the most. \nLin teaches in the Health and Mental Health Field of Study in the MSW program and research methods in the PhD Program. She is known for being able to effectively blend knowledge and skills of clinical practice with theories and research evidence in her presentations. She is the recipient of the 2015-2016 Teaching Award at FIFSW.

SUMMARY:Practice Consultation for Black-Identifying Social Work Students
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to FIFSW students only. \nJoined by Shawnette Thompson\, the purpose of the practice consultation sessions is to provide Black-identifying social work students with an opportunity to receive advice\, mentorship\, and general support from a Black clinical social worker around how to navigate issues that may arise in their own practice while on practicum and professionally. This space has been created as a braver space for Black-identifying students to share and explore their experiences. \nShawnette Thompson (she/her) brings to the role of Social Work Practice Consultant for the Black Social Work Student’s Association over 15 years of rich experience in social work. This experience spans across private practice\, community programs\, mental health clinics\, universities\, group homes\, and adolescent treatment facilities. Her extensive career has included roles as a child and youth worker\, an individual and family therapist\, a manager of community programs\, and most recently\, the Supervisor of Clinical Affairs at U of T’s Factor-Inwentash Faculty of Social Work’s Talk It Out Clinic. Shawnette also continues to actively maintain a private practice\, providing therapy to couples\, individuals\, and families\, in addition to providing clinical consultation to social workers in the field. \nAs a Black cisgender female of Caribbean descent\, Shawnette is deeply invested in the mentorship of future social work professionals\, with a focus on dismantling Anti-Black racism and fostering culturally responsive practices. Her appointment as the Social Work Practice Consultant for the Black Social Work Students’ Association at FIFSW is a testament to her dedication and collaborative spirit. \nIn this role\, Shawnette is committed to creating a nurturing environment that not only respects the shared identities of Black students but also promotes the personal and professional\, development of each individual. \nRegister for the Practice Consultation for Black-Identifying Social Work Students!
