"In these times, we need more upstanders, not bystanders. Bystanders react. Upstanders respond." Thank you to @unlearn_com's Lakhdeep Dhaliwhal for helping us bring it all together to close out an incredible day!

On decolonizing education in Ontario @DrAnnLopez shares, "Educators are coming to understand that the centrality of Eurocentric learning must be dislodged. How do we disrupt and build? We are beginning to build this understanding, and this is the boldness, this is the joy."

Inspiring words from the Hon. @JeanAugustine07, "What you are doing as educators, social workers, community leaders, is helping students reach their *full* potential. We must be intentional in our efforts to eliminate structural biases and barriers to build an equitable system."

Give this a read and letโ€™s talk about this too. #BellLetsTalk
I've written extensively about my own experiences of depression and anxiety in my book, "A Mind Spread Out On The Ground." In the title essay, I compare depression to the effects of colonialism. Since it's #BellLetsTalk, I want to talk more about what I call colonial depression.
Mental health well-being skills and strategies videos created alongside my amazing @HCDSB school social work colleagues @JVSWHardeepA @CPeacer @DavisJSW1 @PatriciaCodner and Anne Marie. Posted at learnathome.hcdsb.org with the hope theyโ€™ll be helpful during this time.
