Demands are rising \u2014 from youth mental health crises to long-standing structural inequities and workforce strain.

Sessions will centre patients, clients, and families, highlight equity-informed and trauma-aware practices, and remain vendor-neutral and apolitical. Each presentation follows a consistent format\u2014context and problem, approach and tools, data and outcomes, lessons learned, and resources\u2014so participants leave with clear, adaptable models they can implement across psychiatric hospitals, community programs, and health authorities.<\/p>\n Early bird registration is now open, with discounted rates available for teams.
