You’re invited to attend “Going ‘glo-cal’: Global lessons for local benefit”, a unique conference organized by the Global Mental Health section of the Department of Psychiatry, University of Toronto, and the Office of Transformative Global Health, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH).

Growing acknowledgement worldwide of the urgent need for concerted action on mental health and for reducing the gap between richer and poorer countries has propelled global mental health issues into the spotlight. How can we combine global responsibilities with meeting local needs? What is the relevance and value of involvement in global mental health for Canadians? Is there a way to accelerate the knowledge exchange between global and local mental health initiatives for mutual benefit?

This conference will bring together perspectives from policy, health, arts, and community to better evaluate Canada’s current role in this evolving field, identify opportunities for collaboration and initiate a conversation on formulating a global mental health framework for Canada.

Plenary speakers include mental health advocate Margaret Trudeau and acclaimed filmmaker Deepa Mehta. Over the course of 3 thought-provoking, captivating and rousing days, you will hear about visions, strategies, and findings from some leading experts and up-and-comers in the field. Come check it out and be a part of this growing global mental health movement!
