The Mental Health Series: What comes after resilience?

  • 29 Mar 2023
  • 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
  • In-Person Event

Join CAMH and the University of Toronto for the inaugural Mental Health Series, an annual community conversation about mental health inspired by the late Honourable Michael Wilson P.C., C.C. According to a recent CAMH survey, 59 per cent of Ontario students say they feel depressed about the future. Whether it’s climate anxiety, racial violence or the rising cost of living, one thing is clear; we’re tired of being resilient. So what can we do, as individuals and as a society, to move past resilience?

The panel discussion will take place in the Great Hall at University of Toronto's Hart House from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m. followed by a reception in the Lower Gallery. Snacks and refreshments will be provided.
