• October 22, 2018 – “How Discrimination Affects Our Mental Health,” presented by Uppala Chandrasekera for the Yosif Al-Hasnawi Memorial Lecture Series: Promoting Racial Justice in Health Care

  Monday, October 22, 2018 | By cszczepanowski

  

  “How Discrimination Affects Our Mental Health,” presented by Uppala Chandrasekera, Director of Public Policy, Canadian Mental Health Association Ontario.

  The Yosif Al-Hasnawi Memorial Lecture Series: Promoting Racial Justice in Health Care is named in memory of a first-year Medical Sciences student who died in the service of another in 2017. Yosif Al-Hasnawi had dreams of becoming a doctor and hoped to one day make a difference in the world.

  Those of us who work in health care often believe that because we are part of a helping profession, we are immune to discrimination. Yet discrimination persists – it impacts service users, service providers, organizations, and the entire health care system.

  This lecture will explore the causes and impacts of discrimination on mental health and identify opportunities and resources for addressing discrimination at an individual, organizational and systems level.

  Opening remarks provided by Brock President Gervan Fearon, with special thanks provided by Director, Human Rights & Equity Leela MadhavaRau.

  Monday, October 22, 2018, from 11:00am to 1:00pm
  South Block Room 203 at Brock University

  The Department of Health Sciences and Centre for Women’s and Gender Studies are committed to his memory and his dream.
