Theme: Identify a mental health challenge in your community & propose a creative solution!
During the Presentation Session, you will have the opportunity to propose a research project, community or school initiative, or advocacy or policy work that addresses a specific mental health challenge within your community. You are welcome to use any medium to describe the challenge and solution (poster, visual art, digital media, video, etc.). Be creative!
Eight participants will be selected to set up their project around the room and conference attendees will walk around the room to view and hear about each project. Attendees will vote on the best project at the end of the presentation session!
