LAST CALL TO REGISTER!

Talking openly and having regular conversations about mental health is a critical step in building healthy communities. This spring, we welcome all individuals from across the prairies, and beyond, to come together and join the conversation on building partnerships, strengthening capacity, and supporting the growth of rural mental health across the map.

Hosted by the Centre for Critical Studies of Rural Mental Health (CCSRMH), the Mental Health on the Prairies Hybrid Conference & Community Conversation will be held on April 29th, 30th, and May 1st, at Brandon University. This conference will bring together researchers, health professions, educators, community groups and organizations, mental health advocates, and individuals with lived experience from across the country to share knowledge and have critical conversations about mental health.

The conference includes three keynote presentations designed to explore topics and issues that are meaningful to the whole community. Read more about them in the comments of this post!

In addition to this fantastic agenda of keynote speakers, the Conference has organized and will offer a Citizen’s Forum, a Knowledge Sharing Guest Panel, and a solid variety of mental health focused concurrent sessions arranged over three days, to discuss, learn, connect, create and build ideas, and deepen our collective understanding of both the mental health challenges and potential solutions across rural places and spaces.
