OUR INVITATION
Delta Ottawa City Centre Hotel April 23-24
Knowledge is best shared and
this is what this conference is
about, sharing the innovation, best
practices and tools from across
the country so that educators can
apply what they have learned for
the benefits of all students. This
exchange undoubtedly contributes
to a smart and caring nation.
— Her Excellency, Mrs. Sharon Johnston
Every day, teachers experience
the impact of anxiety, depression,
self-harm and other mental illness
in the lives and learning of children
and youth. Teachers want to be
part of the important national
conversation about child and youth
mental health. As a society, we must
work together to raise awareness,
provide timely supports, and reduce
and ultimately eliminate harmful
stigma. This conference provides an
opportunity for sharing ideas aimed
at assisting teachers and students
in the classroom.
The Mood Disorders Society of Canada is pleased to invite you to
participate in the 1st annual CANADIAN EDUCATORS CONFERENCE
ON MENTAL HEALTH. This inaugural conference is being held at the
beautiful Delta Ottawa City Centre Hotel in the heart of Ottawa on
Thursday, April 23rd and Friday, April 24th, 2015.
We are bringing together 200+ educators and school board leaders
to discuss mental health issues, learn about the latest research and
best practices, and distribute tools, techniques and action plans to
implement in their daily work with students!
We look forward to you joining us in Ottawa for this leading-edge
conference!

With 70% of mental health problems having their onset during childhood
or adolescence, the Canadian Educators Conference on Mental Health is
focused on the latest resources, programs and tools to help educators
improve the support available in their communities. Every participant

encourage all educators to attend the conference and take advantage of
this valuable opportunity.
