Today marks the start of Mental Health Week 2024 in Canada, led by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA)!

Giving and receiving compassion and practicing self-compassion can significantly improve mental health.

I'm hoping folks can help me track down a speaker!

I'm looking for an organization or even researcher who focuses on the usage of AI (artificial intelligence). I work as a Gambling and Gaming Specialist (which includes internet safety), and we've had multiple requests for workshops and/or presentations that can help educate folks about the safe usage of AI.

Does anyone know of any organizations or individual researchers who might be able to facilitate on this topic?

Thanks for your help!
