Peterborough Campus Mental Health Forum – Free!
Good Afternoon,
I would like to introduce myself and the Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health. Our mission is to help Ontario’s colleges and universities enhance their capacity to support student mental health and well-being and optimize mental health and well-being for Ontario’s postsecondary students. My role is Communications and Stakeholder Engagement.
We would like to invite you to our upcoming forum in Peterborough (Trent University) on March 27, 2018. The forum is a one day event that takes place between 11 and 4 pm. The goal is to bring regional post-secondary institutions and community organizations together to highlight the great work being done, seek and build collaborations and to facilitate networking. The forum is free to attend and includes lunch. We also encourage you to forward this email and invite any additional organizations that you think would like to attend.
The forum will start with a networking exercise run by our director, followed by 10 min presentations from attendees on their organizations current work and what they are looking for in terms of collaboration within their community.
Please reply to akoolsbergen@CampusMentalHealth.ca with your full name, email, organization, if you would like to present, and any dietary restrictions if you are interested in attending.
Feel free to email me with any other questions you might have.
Regards,
Andrew Koolsbergen

About the Program:
While most individuals experiencing loss face grief, most grievers can cope with loss and subsequent grief in ways defined by their culture as appropriate and can fulfill, after brief and intermittent impairment, their social and workplace roles. However, research shows that between 10 and 20 percent of people who experience loss experience more disabling reactions, including Complicated Grief or other conditions such as PTSD, Major Depressive Disorder, Separation Anxiety Disorder, Adjustment Disorder, or substance abuse. Complicated Grief reactions may also be a factor in physical illness. This program looks at how to identify disabling grief reactions and when referrals to specially trained clinicians or professionals may be indicated and necessary.
Program Outline:
Part I: The Nature of Complicated Grief
Part II: Supporting Grievers Experiencing Complicated Grief Brief Intermission
