Research Study: Promoting Resiliency in Young Women through Accessible & Tailored Mental Health Resources
We are currently recruiting women in Ontario between the ages of 18-25 who experience loneliness, depression and substance use. We are looking to determine the differences in treatment between two virtual group therapy methods; Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Depression (CBTd) and a new psychotherapy method called ‘Groups for Health’ (G4H) developed by researchers in Australia. G4H uses the basis that strong support systems and social connectedness can increase mental and physical well-being on women with depression, increased loneliness, and who might use substances as a coping mechanism.
As a participant, students would be asked to complete 5 virtual group psychotherapy sessions that are expected to last around 75-90 minutes in length, 3 clinical questionnaire assessments and two mail-in cortisol saliva kits. Students would also be compensated for their time and effort.
This is an important research project as it will bring free, virtual, easily accessible therapy methods for depression, loneliness and substance use to our Carleton Community. The results of this study could have a strong impact on psychotherapy services in the future.

Symposium on Antisemitism at Brock UniversityFor years, antisemitism has been largely absent from Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) training within academia. Yet, addressing it has become imperative and it requires an understanding of its complexities and nuances. This symposium will bring together leading scholars and experts to help inform responses to antisemitism and equip the academic community with the knowledge and tools needed to foster a truly inclusive campus environment.
This is an opportunity to engage in the conversation, challenge perspectives, and help refine our collective understanding of this long-standing issue. Antisemitism is complex, like all anti-discrimination work, but each of us has agency for social change.
