Leading the way in mental health training and education

Digital health week, is an annual celebration and recognition of how digital health is transforming the delivery of and access to health care across Canada.

Nearly 7 out of 10 Canadians who sought medical assistance during the pandemic used virtual care. As our health care system becomes more digital, the adoption of digital health tools - from virtual consultations to new apps to accessing personal information is changing the way health care is delivered and accessed across Canada.

We are committed to supporting and connecting with our community through our ‘Community Connect’ program which we have established as a virtual space for people who are looking for insight, guidance and healing from this pandemic and other unfortunate circumstances. This is an opportunity to gather with like-minded people and gain knowledge on various issues and learn how to navigate in difficult times. Community Connect kicks off on Thursday, October 22 from 6pm to 7:30pm EST and we meet online every Thursday at the same time until December 17.
