SESSION 3: Post-Secondary Mental Health and Well-Being Research & Knowledge Hub Working Group Series

UCalgary’s Post-Secondary Mental Health and Well-Being Research & Knowledge Hub (The Hub) is launching a five-session working group series. This series, supported by a UCalgary Transdisciplinary Connector Grant, is designed to leverage transdisciplinary collaboration and will tackle the significant challenges facing post-secondary mental health & well-being. Participants will have the opportunity to address a shared challenge or opportunity by:

• Connecting with passionate peers across disciplines, focusing on a whole institution approach.
• Co-creating innovative projects tackling urgent mental health challenges, focused on community engagement.
• Receiving mentorship in partnership building, project development, grant writing, and knowledge mobilization.
• Helping shape the future of mental health in post-secondary settings.

Whether you’re a researcher, student, staff member, or community partner, you are welcome to participate; no research experience is required. Participants are expected to actively participate in all five sessions.

The workshop series will solidify new transdisciplinary partnerships grounded in seven priority themes:

• Eating disorders, addictions, and recovery
• Transitions (into/out of post-secondary; between post-secondary and healthcare systems)
• Well-being and work
• Mental health data & evaluation
• Peer support
• Suicide prevention/intervention and severe mental illness
• Teaching & learning

*Breakfast and refreshments provided*
