The Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals (OAMHP) is currently seeking submissions for presenters at our 2021 Virtual Conference. This year, our conference will be on the topic of the mental health implications of COVID19. We are looking for online conference sessions to help mental health practitioners understand what we have all gone through and what awaits us as we move into a post-COVID life.

Promising Practices in Accessing Virtual Mental Health: Supporting Refugees during COVID-19  is a national research project currently inviting refugee newcomers to participate in virtual interviews about their access to formal virtual support for emotional or social well-being.

Formal virtual support means support provided online or by phone by a professional or agency (for example, in support groups or individual sessions with social workers, physicians, counsellors, or other mental health professionals).

The Ontario College of Family Physicians is happy to introduce Practicing Well, a new resource to support family doctors in providing the best possible care for patients with their mental health disorders, substance use, and chronic pain.

Practicing Well has three components: 1) a Community of Practice, 2) Information Exchange, and 3) Peer-to-Peer Connect.
