Yeganeh Rasouli

Windsor, ON

Yeganeh is an undergraduate student at the University of Windsor studying psychology with a minor in biological sciences. She is the project lead for the Health Empowerment Initiative, which aims to empower impoverished, high-risk individuals through no-cost health education workshops. Committed to making a positive impact in her community, Yeganeh works to ensure that everyone has access to the knowledge and support needed for improved health outcomes, regardless of their socioeconomic background.

The Health Empowerment Initiative

The Health Empowerment Initiative began by distributing care packages containing PPE and essential items to the clients of the Downtown Mission in Windsor, Ontario, during the COVID-19 pandemic. While delivering these packages, it became evident that the clients, facing homelessness and financial hardship, needed continued health support even after the immediate crisis of the pandemic had passed. This initiative aims to provide ongoing support by offering no-cost health education workshops, equipping participants with the knowledge and skills needed to improve their health and well-being.

      We hope that the approximately 25 participants will gain valuable health knowledge and share it with their family, friends, and others in their community.
