Supporting Religious Diversity
In this session, faculty and staff will deepen their understanding of religious demographics in Canada and at Trent, reflect on religious privilege and religious discrimination, and understand their duty to accommodate under the Ontario Human Rights code. Participants will learn about the function of Spiritual Affairs on campus and how to refer students to campus partners when appropriate. The workshop will include interactive student support scenarios where we will put theory into practice, and participants will be provided with suggestions for further learning.

About
The Student Support Certificate is a series of workshops geared toward academic and non-academic staff who have direct contact with students. These courses aim to enhance the capacity of Trent faculty and staff members to effectively assist students in a variety of situations, and to help create a supportive environment that builds students’ life skills and ability to cope with a range of issues.
If you are a student seeking to expand your skills, please see STEPS (Skills To Enhance Peer Support). At this time, this program is intended for staff and faculty only.
