Registration is now open for our
5th Annual e-Mental Health Conference:
Youth e-Mental Health - new ways of caring
Web based health care delivery is in its infant stages, but the momentum grows quickly. Facebook and email are now something for the elder generation, new ways of instant communication come up especially among youth with their extensive use of mobile technologies. There is no doubt that mobile will shape youth health care especially mental health care.
New ways of engagement, interactivity and functionality create exciting opportunities we want to present. So Dr. Sally Merry an adolescent psychiatrist from Auckland will share her work on gamification with us, treating anxiety with SPARX. Dr. John Cunningham from Canberra will reflect on the Australian experiences, a country where a lot of things happen in regards to youth mental health e.g., around the Headspace model. Researchers and developers from Germany, the Netherlands, the US and several Canadian cities will also be present to share their experiences. An opportunity you should not miss.

Call for posters and demonstration submissions
Web-based solutions for youth - new ways to care
Have you developed a tool, app, solution or an innovative research project which aim to improve youth mental health that you would like to share?
Our conference aims to bring together researchers, developers, clinicians and young people with lived experience - giving you an excellent chance to bring your tools and solutions directly to the people who will be using and recommending them.
Rather than the usual scientific poster sessions conferences often present, we plan to create an opportunity for interactive demonstrations during our breaks so that our audience can directly interact with your tools and ask questions about your solutions.
If you would like to be a part of this practical demonstration session on either February 9th, 10th or both days, please email acdevents@cheos.ubc.ca with a one page outline of your proposed session and your preferred date, no later than Jan 1st, 2016.
