CSSSW SPRING 2023 CONFERENCE COMMITTEES
Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Yoga for Mental Health event, facilitated by Lucille Villaseñor-Caron (MSW, RSW, E-RYT, AWP), from Happiness & Wellness Therapy.
Lucille is a Registered Social Worker Psychotherapist, Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (CYA-E-RYT 500+), and an Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner who is interested in the overall well-being and harmonious interconnectedness of all that exists. The event was lovely, with a balance between education on yoga for happiness, and the eight limbs of yoga, as well as the immersive experience of relaxation Yoga Nidra exercise. For those who attended, we welcome you to complete the feedback form for the event (your feedback is important to us it helps us to strengthen our offerings). Lucille has graciously shared with us a 46-minute recording she prepared of a guided Yoga Nidra meditation, available to you. We invite you to take a break for your mental health and wellness, to connect and honour your spiritual being. You deserve it! If you wish to download this recording yourself, you can also access the recording via Google Drive by clicking here. Poster Art Call for Participation About the Project
Understanding Social Work Leadership in Canada (USWLC) is a research study that captures and preserves the oral histories of social workers who have made notable contributions to social work practice and social justice. The study includes analyzing video recordings of 56 historical oral histories created in 1983/84, together with 50 contemporary oral histories (yet to be recorded), in order to develop a model of leadership for social work in Canada. The original project includes interviews with 56 social workers from across Canada who practiced from about 1920 to about 1983. These social workers were pioneers in social welfare and social policy in Canada, and established many of the services that we enjoy today. The contemporary oral histories are designed to reflect the leadership experiences of recently retired/retiring social workers with concerns for issues of diversity and inclusion, issues related to identity politics, and anti-oppressive practices. |
