Surrey, BC - Join us for “The IMPACT” a Black Youth Panel dedicated to providing a safe, supportive space for youth to engage in meaningful dialogue about their experiences with microaggressions and acts of anti-Black racism in schools. This event is designed to cultivate a strong sense of community while equipping students with strategies to navigate and address these challenges.
In collaboration with Open Mind Counseling, and registered clinical counselors Lindi Setiloane and John Nweke, this session will be co-facilitated to ensure a therapeutic environment where students can openly discuss potentially traumatic experiences related to their education and life in B.C.
Our partners from the B.C. Community Alliance (BCCA), led by Brian Seremba, will share valuable data collected from students across B.C. about the racial dynamics within schools. Additionally, Moving Forward will be on hand to provide further counseling support if needed.
We are grateful for the generous support of our sponsors, Global BC and United Way, who are committed to helping us create a space where youth feel heard, supported, and empowered to develop strategies for resilience.
