Advocacy Day 2024
Join us at U of T's iconic Hart House for a day exploring mental health and advocacy in the context of climate change and global crisis.
Advocacy Day provides education for psychiatry residents, faculty, and allied health professionals. Explore how to best support and advocate for your clients and communities in the context of a changing climate.
This year's theme is Climate, Global Crisis, and Mental Health.
Advocacy Day is a protected half-day for residents once over the course of 5 years. Residents are welcome to attend every year but will need to get the approval of their primary supervisor to attend if they have already attended a previous year's event.
This event is open to faculty, learners and allied health clinicians and professionals.
In person at Hart House
