Join us for a psychoeducational workshop led by MRU Counsellor Ricardo Avelar that explores how queer knowledges can inform counselling practice through identity, relationality, and care. Drawing on an ongoing and critical practice of cultural humility, this workshop invites participants to reflect on how power, context, and lived experience shape therapeutic relationships.
Participants will be supported to explore and strengthen their culturally responsive counselling skills while identifying areas for continued learning and growth.

It’s October 1991, at the height of the AIDS crisis, and the residents of Casey House, Canada’s first free-standing AIDS hospice receive word that Diana, Princess of Wales, will be making a historic visit.
“Powerful, gripping, funny and hopeful,” (Hamilton Magazine), this moving drama by Nick Green vividly captures a moment in time when a rebel Princess, devoted caregivers and advocates reshaped the course of a crisis—and how those stricken by the virus found hard-won dignity, community and love in the face of astonishing hardship. Inspired by incredible true events, Casey and Diana is a powerful tribute to love, resilience, community and compassion.
