About this year's health summit
A need to address global mental health and well-being has not been more urgent.
Individuals across the life-span have experienced a range of mental health challenges that were exacerbated by the pandemic. The mental health of our neighbors, friends, families, and colleagues needs greater attention from professionals in all allied health professions. The purpose of this Summit is to recognize the need for greater supports for mental health and provide educators and practitioners with tools needed to improve the mental health of our communities.
We are seeking to educate attendees on practices, research, and strategies to share knowledge that will be a force of change to improve mental health and wellbeing. Ideally, we will share examples of interprofessional practices and strategies for working together to mental health crises.
