Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine a year ago, the Burnaby school district has registered 130 children and youth whose families have come to Canada to escape the war.
The 17-year-old Burnaby North Secondary School student arrived in Canada via Poland with her mother and sister in August, but her father had to stay behind in Ukraine.
She breathes deeply to take in the chocolatey smell and then blows gently at the imaginary, frothing cup. ‘I need somebody to talk to how I want’ Tsang says she tried to provide the students with “a smorgasbord of different techniques” to help shift their minds and bodies out of dysregulated states – those times when stress or anxiety send them into fight-or-flight-or-freeze mode.
‘They will be struggling like I did’ Since Tsang doesn’t speak a word of Ukrainian, the pilot program relied on two translators for help. Victoria Shabatina, a Moscrop Secondary School grad, came to Burnaby from Ukraine in 2018 when she was 14 years old and still has family and friends there.
