Registration closes soon for The UMAB Certificate Program facilitated by Elisa Reid, Asst. Lead Trainer for UMAB Canada!
There is still time to join us on January 30, 2019 from 9:00am -4:00pm as Janine Lawford, MSW., RSW., explores the background of how Trauma Impacts Children and Families and how to best work with these clients to identify Myriad Traumatic Responses and encourage Healing in the Family System.
Youth wellbeing is a priority within Ontario. Though youth report challenges with substance use and psychological wellbeing, many report not knowing where to go to access the mental health and health care they need. Integrated models of care that are designed to improve access to care for youth with health, mental health or substance use concerns can help address those issues.
Both CNN and TIME recently published news releases on the state of mental health across the country.
According to the American Psychological Association, Generation Z (ages 15-21) reported the worst mental health. Additionally, stress was prevalent across all generations with Millennials (ages 22-37) reporting the highest overall, followed by Gen X (ages 38-53), and then Gen Z.
