@silvana_cyc @TorontoPflag @tdsb_DSS @ChezDominique 👏👏👏

Thank you @TorontoPflag for joining our @tdsb_DSS staff meeting & providing us with information on how we can all support our 2SLGBTQIA students. Role Models & Ally’s are important to positive school culture. What can you do in your spaces to promote this? @ChezDominique

November 29th is #GivingTuesday – an opportunity for organizations like ours to amplify their message and raise much-needed funds.  New Leaf is excited to be making a big announcement that day, so here’s an early heads-up to stay tuned to learn more!

✨ Charity Champion ✨ @jaceyschnarr and the Raised 80s team is donating 2% of revenue to foundations (@girlsmentorship, @tenoaksproject, @TreeCanada and @newleaffdn) that resonate with the entire organization aligning inspiring them collectively work towards a better future.

We’ve launched a new video to get our work out further and wider! youtube.com/watch?v=sBrkHR…

There are some things we can't do alone. We're rallying our amazing community (that's you!) and launching an exciting new campaign called Better Together. Find out more, and become a changemaker today! newleaffoundation.com/donate/better-…

We’ve launched a set of mindfulness activities just for classrooms (recordings, simple lesson plans, and printable worksheets) because thriving schools need students and teachers that are well cared for. ❤️ For details and to apply, visit: newleaffoundation.com/curriculum-too…

Every person deserves wellness. But not everyone has been included and supported in wellness spaces. Learn how you can start creating safer spaces. Join our upcoming online training. - mailchi.mp/a3603109ae89/g…

My message on Orange Shirt Day🧡

Services for ppl experiencing homelessness paused or declined during the pandemic. Every day Toronto’s leadership tells you who the city is for, and it’s not poor people. If you care about health equity, you should care about what’s happening in Trinity Bellwoods #onpoli

Tune into ⁦@TheCurrentCBC⁩ as we talk about the deaths of the 215 children in one residential school and ask what has changed for First Nations children today

Dr. Jane Liddle: "We are going to need additional resources in the schools to academically support young people and mental health resources in the schools, moving forward, to help heal and support children through this." cbc.ca/news/canada/ot… #MentalHealth #KidsCantWait

Every youth deserves joy, love, peace, health, happiness. But not every youth is provided with accessible opportunities to take care of their physical, emotional, and mental health.⠀ ⠀ This holiday season, please consider donating to New Leaf Foundation. canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/56991/…

If giving funds is not accessible to you, there are lots of other ways to support, including: share our posts on social media, like and comment, or start your own peer-to-peer fundraiser. canadahelps.org/en/charities/n… #GivingTuesday

A reminder for the week. Reposted from @lodrorinzler #Wellness #Mindfulness #Selfcare #MentalHealth

#TBT One of our brilliant facilitators led this activity on, "the masks we wear." Youth were encouraged to design a mask representing how they present themselves externally and then another based on how they feeling on the inside. (Originally posted in November 2019)

This week has brought another pandemic lockdown to Toronto (and Peel). We know this can be stressful for many & hope that these ideas are helpful.
