Registration for this session is now closed

Session Objectives

  • Identify effective methods and coping strategies that help support one’s own mental health and wellness
  • Develop skills that can help support the mental health and wellness of others (e.g. friend, classmate, family member, colleague, etc.)

Let’s talk about mental health and wellness. This session will be an opportunity for youth and mental health professionals to have a conversation about important matters related to youth mental health and wellness. Because mental health and wellness looks different for all of us, this will be a chance to hear about different perspectives and approaches to help inform choices that we can make to impact our own mental health and wellness and how we can support others. The session will be hosted collaboratively by two youth facilitators and two mental health professionals. It’s open to all youth, parents, teachers, and community members and health professionals.

This conference is hosted by IWK Health with the planning support of uOttawa, Office of CPD
