The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health’s (CICMH) Annual Conference is an opportunity for stakeholders in post-secondary mental health across Ontario and Canada to come together, connect over their shared goals, and learn new strategies to bring back to their practice. Our event represents the heart of CICMH’s work: bringing together diverse stakeholders among Ontario’s post-secondary staff, students, community organizations, and campus champions so they can collaborate on, and ultimately innovate solutions to, campus mental health problems.
This year the conference will be held virtually on November 13th, 2024. In the past, this event has attracted over 600 participants, 20 exhibitors, and a wide variety of speakers from across the post-secondary mental health sector, offering workshops on best and emerging practices.
The Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health (CICMH) invites you to submit an abstract for presentation at the 2024 Virtual Conference. CICMH is seeking abstracts from stakeholders in post-secondary mental health who can share ideas and offer innovative solutions to campus mental health problems.
Each conference session will feature a call-to-action for participants to consider and join. Through this lens, we will also be exploring topics that embed and examine the social determinants of health.
