About this in-person event

Join us for George Brown Polytechnic’s 25th annual Mental Health Conference on Thursday, February 27th, 2025. Our annual conference is a chance for us to engage in learning, dialogue, and connection, advancing our understanding of the critical factors impacting mental health and well-being.

We are excited to announce that this one-day in-person conference will include a keynote address from Carolyn Roberts – a member of the Squamish Nation who is a speaker, author and Indigenous academic who teaches at the University of British Columbia. Carolyn uses her voice to support Indigenous resurgence through education and will speak to this year’s theme - ‘Thriving Together in the Classroom: Creating the Conditions for Student Well-being’.

The day will also include:

• a panel of current students and teaching faculty who will share their experiences and perspectives on what strategies positively impact student well-being
• a variety of thought-provoking workshops designed to engage and stimulate meaningful discussion
• sharing innovative practices connecting student services with teaching faculty to support student well-being

This conference will appeal to anyone interested in advancing their understanding of the challenges that exist and learning new strategies to support the conditions for improved student well-being in the classroom.
