Untangling a complicated relationship: Teens, cannabis and health

Live webinar March 24, 2022 | Time: 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Caring for a young person who has a mental illness can be difficult and confusing. The Family Connections program was created to help family members of people with borderline personality disorder live better lives. It provides them with information and research on mental health and family functioning, coping skills, family skills and social support. Until now, there has been no research on the effects of this program on family members of people with other types of mental health challenges.

As a teen, navigating today’s world for youth can be complicated and challenging.  

Let’s Chat About Mental Health invites teens to join us each month to interact, share and exchange.

A chance to chat in a safe space.

Each month teens will have one-stop access to mental health navigators, youth council representatives, traditional knowledge keepers and specialists.
