Giving Voice 2: Advocacy & Mental Health

University of Alberta

This one day forum will allow participants to interact with leaders in mental health, justice and government about recent developments in mental health and advocacy. It will be a chance to learn about the implementation of recent changes to Alberta’s mental health legislation, including the introduction of community treatment orders and the broadening of criteria for involuntary admission to psychiatric facilities. The forum will also provide insight into exciting new initiatives involving the homeless and our justice system.
Come join us in learning more about the latest developments in mental health, and discussing the challenges, issues and responsibilities for all of us in working with persons living with mental illness, addictions or other mental health issues.
