Paniz Salehi

My name is Paniz Salehi, I studied Psychology, Mental health and Mindfulness at University of Toronto. 

I am currently an Intervention Support Worker (ISW) and Educational Assistant (EA) at York Region District School Board (YRDSB), helping students (JK to Grade 12) in their development and daily activities, promoting wellbeing and education for mainstream and special education classrooms (students with ADHD, Autism, Developmental disabilities and other.) 

At Mindful Pink World Therapy Centre, I help with programming like mindfulness exercises, storytelling, and socio-emotional skills development activities. 

I also help with event coordination and psychoeducational content preparation. I believe in identity-affirming, inclusive and strength-based practices, always striving to create a safe and welcoming space for all kids to grow into their most authentic, free, confident and capable self.
