About The Event

About the Workshop: This one-hour workshop will cover the presenter's experience with grief and disability. She will discuss the multilayered challenges these two experiences bring up together. She will facilitate a discussion among participants to share. Lastly, she will cover ways how to support individuals living with both.

About the Facilitator: Irish Dhindsa (She/Her) has lived with a progressive disability since childhood. Her challenges grew even more vital when she experienced the loss of her partner and then her father by the age of 31. In her pursuit of purpose, she found her biggest passion for providing therapy, counselling, coaching & peer support. She is motivated by her desire to develop meaningful connections and have deep conversations. Irish is a WellCoaches Certified Well-being Coach, a Peer Support Canada Certified Peer Supporter, and is currently doing her Masters in Counselly Psychology.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

We want to acknowledge the land on which we gather, and where the Centre for Grief and Healing (BFO-H/P) operates. This land has been and is still inhabited by many Indigenous Peoples since the last Ice Age which was 13,000 years ago. In particular, we acknowledge the territory of the Anishinabek-Ojibway/Chippewa, Huron-Wendat, and Haudenosaunee peoples. The land that is home to the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people. We are grateful to now be on the land that is the land of Indigenous Peoples since time began.

​

The land we are presently on is under the stewardship of the Mississaugas of the Credit, who are the signatories of the treaty and holders of the area. We recognize that the land we are on was taken away through colonization, oppression, and expropriation. In the hopes for a better future and building relationships, we recognize, require, and honour what is in the truth and reconciliation report and the calls to action. We acknowledge and are grateful for having the privilege of being where we are, for this land, and for the Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to inhabit this land.

 

This Land Acknowledgment was created in collaboration with Indigenous Elder, Cat Criger.
