Counselling support through the Centre for Student Development and Counselling
Participants of the Forum who are current X University students residing within Ontario are welcome to connect with counselling support through the Centre for Student Development and Counselling (CSDC). To book an appointment, please contact the CSDC at csdc@ryerson.ca or 416-979-5195 and indicate that you are a participant of this year’s National Forum on Anti-Asian Racism. The counselling team where possible will meet student requests in terms of counsellor
identity (e.g., gender, race, ethnicity, sexual identity). Please let the CSDC know if you have any specific requests with regard to counsellor match.
Rest & Relaxation Room
If you feel like you need a break from listening to presentations but want to stay engaged, please join us in our Rest and Relaxation Zoom room! Someone will be there if you want to debrief, do some Zoom coloring, chat about your favorite Asian snacks or just hang out quietly.
Virtual Guest Book on Jamboard
All registered forum participants will have access to the Forum’s virtual guest book. Share your thoughts, a doodle or a photo! Sign in to your Pheedloop dashboard (login details will be sent to all registrants a week prior to the Forum) and follow the link in the lobby page announcements!
Graphic Recording
Throughout the forum, we will be drawing on the creative talents of an artist from Fuselight Creative to visually capture the thoughts, feelings, and common themes felt by attendees, panelists and moderators. We will be providing this visual representation of the forum to all participants, post-forum to maintain the importance of continuing the conversation.
