Collaborations for Change 2025 Conference

The Collaborations for Change Conference: Connecting Research and Practice in Post-Secondary Mental Health brings together difference makers from across Canada to collaborate on advancing knowledge, practice, and research in post-secondary student mental health. The 2025 virtual conference will bring post-secondary students, service professionals, mental health providers, and researchers together to have meaningful conversations on how to best move forward to integrate research and practice in post-secondary mental health. Students, whether working towards careers in academia or in professional practice, are vital for informing and sustaining collaborations as we move forward.

1. Transforming Post-Secondary Culture Through Strategy and Action
2. Post-Secondary Student Mental Health Research: Engaging the Next Generation of Student Researchers
3. Supporting Students Amidst Global Events

5. Shifting to a Health Promotion Approach to Address Post-Secondary Mental Health and Well-being
