Public Health 2021 is the national conference where public health professionals, researchers, policy-makers, academics, students and trainees come together to strengthen efforts to improve health and well-being, to share the latest research and information, to promote best practices and to advocate for public health issues and policies grounded in research.

The Steering Committee invites oral and poster abstracts, didactic symposia and interactive workshop submissions to be presented 6-8 October 2021.

The Canadian Public Health Association is inviting public health, public safety, health and social service providers and other professionals and practitioners to participate in a short survey on substance use.

Your answers will help us to better understand your knowledge and perspectives of substance use, and topics you would like to learn more about.  Your participation in this survey will support the creation of tools, resources and online learning modules to support the implementation of a public health approach to substance use in Canada.

Description: How do we create safe and accessible ways for youth who use substances to be engaged in program and policy development? Youth engagement refers to meaningfully and sustainably involving young people in decision-making that affects them. Meaningful youth engagement allows youth to take action, have their voice heard, and to actively participate in their own development.

Join us on March 11th as we explore the benefits, supports required, levels of participation and considerations for engaging youth who use substances.

This webinar series is hosted by the Ontario Housing First Regional Network Community of Interest (OHFRN‐COI) and the Housing First Europe Hub (the Hub).

In this presentation we will discuss how we can understand frailty and social vulnerability, and how these are both important for brain health and dementia. Within this context, we will also touch on some of the reasons why women are more often affected by Alzheimer's Disease and cover some of the exciting research that is being done in this field.

A number of new resources are available to help women with substance use concerns and those who work with them make choices about the use of digital health resources like apps and web-based support tools. 

The Art of Life Community Health Centre is starting a new Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction program, this program incorporates Self-Compassion and is specifically meant for girls ages 13 to 19.

Discover the origins of stress and practice the tools of mindfulness and self-compassion to overcome the destructive reactions to all personal stressors.

This will be a fun, informative and very practical course, taught by an experienced and empathetic instructor, Erin McCarthy Ph.D.

Check out this webinar recording about digital health solutions to support women with addictions, during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

The webinar features a panel of experts highlighting their research into:

More women than men have Alzheimer’s disease and the numbers are growing. Both sex (biological factors) and gender (social factors) most likely work together to contribute to this predominance. In order to prevent AD in women, we need to understand early in life the factors affecting women that lead to eventual dementia. In this webinar we discuss what is known about the underlying causes and suggest future directions for research.

This free webinar will feature a 60 minute panel of experts discussing digital health resources for supporting women with addictions—both what is currently available and what is still needed—as well as the importance of solutions that are both gender- and trauma-informed. The presentation will be followed by a 30 minute Q&A session with members of the audience.
