TED Talk: Sense of Belonging

Positive Thought Counsellor Nabeel Rahman, M.A., RSW spoke at TedxUnionville!


Visible minorities play many different roles and live on the intersection of multiple barriers. We have to navigate through imposed identities, expectations and stereotypes that create innumerable  challenges. As such, this talk focused on overcoming those challenges through acknowledgement, empathy, self-determination, and action. 

Seeking Support: Breaking the Stigma

Stigma around counselling prevents many from accessing it. Counselling is not a place where we show our weakness, but it can be a space where we discover our strengths. This short video discusses how counselling might be something you can benefit from.
 

Verbalize

Creative expression is a great tool to empower ourselves and challenge the negative inner talk we experience.  Anxiety will always make us worry about what is to come, how will people react? what will they say? what if this is no good?  Creativity is about the present and the process of creating something is what matters, not the reactions of people.
