Calgary’s Mental Health and Addiction Strategy: A Community of Connections Town Hall
Connect the Dots: Supporting Mental Health in Calgary through Research
Calgary’s landmark Mental Health and Addiction Strategy will build a stronger city where recognizing, acknowledging, helping, treating, and supporting those experiencing issues related to mental health and addiction is fundamental.
The University of Calgary has played a key role, together with other community partners, in informing the development of the strategy. The community-based strategy is designed to create an enabling environment for programs and services with evidence-informed insights to support the mental health of Calgarians.
The Mathison Centre for Mental Health Research & Education and the O’Brien Institute for Public Health present a town hall to introduce the City’s strategy and action plan to the broad University of Calgary community, and highlight the areas of relevance particularly for research but also campus wellness. The goal is to facilitate the interest and engagement of researchers and the broad UCalgary community in the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of Calgary’s Mental Health and Addiction Strategy 2021–2023.
