University of Toronto's downtown campus, Toronto, Ontario
Saturday, October 17th, 2009

 The Women's Mental Health Program of the University of Toronto invites you to submit an abstract to our first provincial conference on women's mental health.  The theme, Women's Mental Health in Ontario: Building Networks and Research Capacity, is intended to create a forum for women's mental health researchers across Ontario to meet one another, share their research and ideas, and forge collaborative relationships. We hope that this conference will be the first of many and that it will foster the development of a strong and vibrant research community dedicated to furthering our knowledge of mental health issues affecting women in Ontario and beyond, with the ultimate goal of improving the lives of women. The conference will consist of a full day of paper presentations, symposia, panel discussions, poster sessions and a plenary address by Dr. Kimberly Yonkers, Associate Professor at Yale University. Please join us and present your research.
