CMHA’s Mental Health for All Conference 2016: Together by Design (MH4A Conference) will promote a dialogue about mental health, mental illness and addiction; and bring together the most innovative and inspiring mental health and addictions thinkers and leaders in the country.

The MH4A Conference – September 29-30, 2016 – will feature keynote speakers, plenary sessions, breakout sessions, panels, presentations, and exhibits in the foyer during the entire day.

Pre-conference program
A pre-conference program is also offered on September 28, 2016. CMHA Ontario is presenting a full-day pre-conference focused on quality improvement in the mental health and addictions sectors. All delegates of the MH4A Conference are also invited to register for the pre-conference.

Why a new conference?
In the past, CMHA’s nation-wide conference has been hosted by different CMHA divisions or branches. This year, CMHA National is launching the MH4A Conference, and is inviting CMHA colleagues and volunteers from across the country, along with key people and organizations in mental health, mental illness and addiction, for two days of information exchange and dialogue that will advance the work in our dynamic fields.

What Will Set this Conference Apart?
The MH4A Conference, with its Together by Design theme, will be the first-of-its-kind opportunity for key individuals and organizations in the fields of mental health, mental illness and addiction to put their collective minds together to bridge these sometimes disparate sectors. Thought leaders, researchers, people with lived experience, service providers, and front-line workers will come together to advance thinking and practice in mental health and addictions.
The MH4A Conference is offering a robust and stimulating program of keynote speakers, presentations, panel discussions and excellent networking opportunities.
