Friday, September 26th Topic: Confronting Residential School Denialism

Content Warning / Trigger Warning
This event will include discussions about the impacts of colonization, residential schools, systemic racism, and inter-generational trauma. These topics may be distressing or triggering for Survivors, families, and Indigenous community members, and may also be upsetting for non-Indigenous participants as we reflect on the truths of our shared history.
We encourage you to care for your well-being in whatever way feels right — whether that means taking breaks, stepping outside, or reaching out to available support resources.
Some resources available are:
-
The National Indian Residential School Crisis Line can be reached 24/7 at 1-866-925-4419 for emotional support and crisis referrals for former Residential School students and their families.
-
The Hope for Wellness Help Line is available at 1-855-242-3310 or online at hopeforwellness.ca for immediate emotional support.
