Request a Speaker or Info Table Beta Request a Speaker or Information Table Please use the form below to request a guest speaker from the Ottawa branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association and/or an information table for your event. CMHA Ottawa has on staff a panel of speakers—available for approximately one hour per session—who can address a wide variety of topics related to mental health. Our staff of experts may travel within the Ottawa area to your event or attend via teleconference. Information tables are offered free of charge. They are volunteer-run and offer information about mental health (common mental illnesses and disorders), local resources, BounceBack, and the general information about the services provided by CMHA Ottawa. CMHA Ottawa also offers training programs for professionals, employers, educational institutions and the general public. If you've arrived at this page looking for training, please follow this link. Please note: The CMHA Ottawa speakers bureau is composed of direct service staff (mental health workers), directors and managers at CMHA Ottawa, as well as people with lived experience. Requests for presenters are processed on a case-by-case basis. Your inquiry may be subject to delays as custom materials may be required for presentation. We kindly ask that you provide as much lead time as possible between the submission of your request and the date of your event. In exchange for mental health presentations we typically ask for a donation to CMHA Ottawa via CanadaHelps.org. Our billing structure will be explained to you by the communications desk when responding to your request. Your donations help us in our mandate of delivering intensive case management for individuals living with severe and persistent mental illness and/or addictions challenges.
