Events

We will explore the scientific research underlying the safe and appropriate use of non-pharmaceutical strategies in supporting mental health, operating on the principle that effective interventions that are natural and less invasive should be considered when possible. We will also discuss broader concepts of health promotion, prevention of mental illness, and lifestyle modifications to improve mental health.
