The conference has four main objectives:
1. To bring together and strengthen connections between health care providers, organizations, individuals with lived experience, students, spiritual leaders and researchers working with Muslim mental health issues in Canada and
2. To provide psychoeducation to the general public on mental health topics in the context of spirituality and Islam and
3. To decrease the stigma of mental illness within the Muslim community and
4. To increase access to culturally and spiritually appropriate mental health resources to the Muslim community
We are pleased to announce the University of Toronto Continuing Professional Development has designated the Canadian Muslim Mental Health Conference 2018 with accredited for The College of Family Physicians of Canada – 7.5 Mainpro+ credits (1 credit per hour) and Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada – 7.5 Section 1 hours.
The Canadian Muslim Mental Health Conference focuses on mental health topics in the context of spirituality and is open to Canadians of all faiths and backgrounds. Speakers and panelists will include psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, therapists and spiritual leaders. The conference is scheduled from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm with the keynote speaker in the morning. The mental health conference is the only annual national Muslim mental health conference in Canada. We have several national and international speakers and experts joining us. We had a great turnout last year with over 180 attendees ranging from physicians and allied healthcare professionals to religious scholars. The breadth and depth of our speaking panel attracted a diversity of attendees from several cities across Canada and beyond.
We look forward to a blessed conference that is useful to all those who attend and participate.
