Join Concordia alumni for a snowshoe walk on Mount-Royal by the glow of the city lights.

SMPTE Montréal is organizing the 5th edition of “Careers in Media Technology”, which will take place on Wednesday, February 18, 2026, at the Société des Arts Technologiques (SAT). This event is aimed at students, job seekers, and companies connected to media technologies.

In celebration of Black History Month, please join us for an engaging discussion with Dr. Myrna Lashley, recognized clinical, teaching and research authority in cultural psychology and consultant to many institutions, nationally and internationally. This event will explore the stigma and current state of Black mental health in Canada, highlighting both best practices and the biases that shape clinical care. Through real-life examples, we’ll examine how Black individuals navigating psychological concerns may experience dismissal, gaslighting, or misinterpretation of their symptoms—often rooted in systemic and practitioner-level bias. We will also discuss how clinicians’ assumptions can influence diagnosis and treatment, particularly when lived experiences of racism are minimized or overlooked. The session will conclude with a conversation on resources, community-based supports, and alternative mental-health pathways that better serve Black communities. Lunch will be provided to in-person attendees at noon. The event is a collaboration between the McGill University Department of Family Medicine’s Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Committee and Concordia University’s Black Perspectives Office.
