From Mental Illness to Hopeful Futures: Innovations in Treatment
May 8, 2019 | 7:30 pm - 9:00 pm EDT
$10The conversation around mental health has changed in the last decade thanks to awareness raising campaigns that flood our airwaves and social media feeds seeking to normalize mental health issues while advocating for better treatment options and increased services. Awareness campaigns and hashtag days have made inroads into destigmatizing mental health issues, a cultural shift towards understanding that mental health is health.
Join our guest speakers on Wednesday, May 8 for an evening of information and inspiration as we explore a new model for treating mental illness. Speakers will discuss the current mental health services available, both hospital and community-based, from professional and personal perspectives.
The audience will be introduced to Eli’s Place, which will be Canada’s first long term rural residential treatment centre for emerging adults with mental illness – and learn about the benefits of applying the recovery model in treatment.
