Through our upcoming webinar series, ACCESS Open Minds (OM) is helping to create space for important conversations to flourish with regards to the current COVID-19 pandemic and youth mental health. The upcoming webinar series will showcase panelists with diverse perspectives and are open to anyone including youth, clinicians, researchers, policy makers and the general public.

Our first webinar in the series will be on the topic of youth mental health and post-secondary education. The idea is to explore the challenges, the opportunities for addressing those challenges, and to provide recommendations as we go forward.

The webinar will also be streamed live on the ACCESS Open Minds Facebook page and recorded for viewing in the future, if you are unable to attend the webinar. Please note that this webinar will be held in English.
