Description: Food insecurity is not an issue in individual behaviour; It’s a social justice problem. In this workshop, We'll explore what food insecurity is and the harmful effects of stigmatizing food insecure people. We will use a public health perspective to help you identify the social factors contributing to food insecurity, and you'll gain insights into the various mental and physical health challenges it poses for students. After eating a FREE catered meal, engage in enriching activities and discussions that will deepen your understanding and give you valuable skills to make a difference. All students are invited to be part of this vital conversation.
