Wellesley Institute works in research and policy to improve health and health equity in the GTA through action on the social determinants of health.
Rachael Tontodonati is a registered social worker and student researcher at Wellesley Institute, currently completing her Master’s degree in social work at the University of Toronto, specializing in mental health and health. Prior to starting at Wellesley, she was a social worker with over two years of experience supporting people experiencing psychosis.
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the Wellesley Institute operates. For thousands of years, it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and the Mississaugas of the Credit. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
