This integrated KTE webinar event is brought to you by brainXchange in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Canada and the Canadian Consortium of Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA). 

With 1 out of 2 Canadian seniors experiencing emotional distress in the past year and 1.4 million elderly Canadians reporting loneliness, a risk factor for suicide and other health problems, it is clear that Canada’s senior population is experiencing mental health challenges that urgently need to be addressed. In spite of the critical demand for treatment and services, seniors are often under-treated for their mental health challenges for many reasons; among them: misdiagnoses, stigma, physical and financial challenges, and lacking service availability.

The Schizophrenia Society of Ontario is pleased to announce our Let’s Talk Cannabis Youth Education Forum in Toronto has been scheduled for Wednesday, October 16!

Ever since I was a child, I have been told to sit down, lower my voice, stop talking to those people. I was pointed in the direction that I was expected to go in and told what I was supposed to like, follow, enjoy and engage in.
