CICMH invites you to a 1-day, free, virtual summit to learn about and discuss the impact of Strengthening Accountability and Student Supports Act, 2024 (Bill 166) and the creation of campus mental health strategies in Ontario. Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from speakers about creating or revising campus mental health strategies, survey design & engagement, and how the National Standard for Mental Health and Well-Being for Post Secondary Students may inform this work. The event will consist of presentations, Q & A, and open discussion time for campus community members to connect, share knowledge, brainstorm solutions, and take full advantage of the wealth of experience in the room.
