School

The York Institute for Health Research (YIHR) is a university-based organized research unit that fosters interdisciplinary health research. It draws together faculty from the social, health, environmental and pure and applied sciences, and from nursing and law, mathematics, psychology, and informatics.

The Sense Project is all about youth peer education - young people getting involved with other young people to provide useful information and support about sexual issues.

Youth animators travel around Montréal to give in-class workshops to high school students aged 14-17 (Grade 9, 10, and 11 classes).

Sense is not your sex-ed class from high school. It’s sex-positive, not scary. It’s queer-friendly. And it’s animated by young people who are trained in safer sex, harm reduction, and social and cultural aspects of sexuality.
