EXPERT PANELISTS
Dr. Kofi-Len Belfron and Nigel Enniss
DESCRIPTION
“Our children are suffering. While our attention is turned to police brutality victims, protests, riots and “#blacklivesmatter” - understand that young black children are suffering behind this as well. I am grieving because of it, and so are many of you. Some of you are at different stages of it – sadness, anger, denial and don’t want to talk about it.”
Dr. Kofi-Len Belfon, clinical child psychologist and member of our Board of Trustees, provided a candid personal and professional perspective of the effects of anti-black racism on our children through this video.
Dr. Belfon will be joined by Nigel Enniss, Anti-Black Racism Practice Integration Lead from Children’s Aid Society Toronto, to lead and engage in a candid conversation with webinar participants on how we can better support and promote the mental well-being of black youth in Canada. We invite you to be a part of this discussion on September 30th 12noon-1pm by registering for this webinar here.
