Registered participants will also re ceive a 20-page workbook and resource guide created by Margeaux.\n\nOver t he course of three hours we'll unpack some of the fears and myths that kee p us from discussing mental health with our students\; discuss tangible st rategies and best practices for having the conversation\; and some ongoing practices that can be integrated into our classrooms to promote mental he alth.\n\nMargeaux Feldman is an educator\, community-builder\, and mental health advocate. She is PhD Candidate in the Department of English and the Mark S. Bonham Centre for Sexual Diversity Studies at the University of T oronto. In 2015 she was named an Outstanding TA in the Department of Engli sh and has since gone on to create award-winning\, equity-based teaching i nitiatives at U of T\, including "Teaching Queerly: A Three-Part Workshop Series." Margeaux believes in the power of peer-based education and menta l health support and brings her lived experience with complex trauma to th e work that she does as an educator and facilitator. To this end\, she's l ed trauma-informed conflict resolution training in academic and community- based settings. Her co-authored article\, "Femme Pedagogy\, or Towards Tra uma-Informed Classrooms" is forthcoming with MAI: Journal of Feminism and Visual Culture in December.\n\nIf you require any accommodations\, pleas e make the request to Julie Vig at julie.vig@utoronto.ca and we'll do our best to meet those needs.\n\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://buddhiststudies.utoronto.ca/wp-content/u ploads/2019/10/we-need-new-stories-.jpg CATEGORIES:Ho Centre Supported Event,Workshop LOCATION:Jackman Humanities Building\, Rm 318\, 170 St. George St\, Toronto \, ON\, M5R2M8\, Canada GEO:43.6677316;-79.4002638 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=170 St. George St\, Toronto \, ON\, M5R2M8\, Canada;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Jackman Humanities Buil ding\, Rm 318:geo:43.6677316,-79.4002638 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Toronto X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Toronto BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20190310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
