Healthy Minds Canada, formerly known as the Canadian Psychiatric Research Foundation, is hosting the second annual Open Mind Across Canada - Mental Health Symposia 2010. Eight sites across Canada will be participating by hosting free workshops open to the public on Thursday October 28, 2010. 

The 2010 Symposia will build on last year’s event by having a stronger focus on children’s mental health issues, and will continue to profile a range of mental health issues of interest to parents, families and other members of the general public across Canada. 

This year's topics will include: aging, Alzheimer's disease, anxiety, depression, improving diagnosis and assessment methods, marijuana, psychosis, supporting the mental health of immigrant children, Tourette's syndrome, TV, video games and children's mental health.

Please check this page regularly; we will continue to update our presentation information.
