EMPWRNG MNDS is Canada’s Online COVID-19 Youth Relief Online Mental Health Conference, with the purpose of navigating solutions around common Mental Health challenges arising today.
At EMPWRNG MNDS we recognize that recently, with self-isolation and safely quarantining, it hasn’t been easy for many of us, especially within youth living in minority communities.
For that purpose, on July 18th 2020 , we're hosting EMPWRNG MNDS via Zoom to open a dialogue around the following topics:
1) How can we play an important role in ensuring we swiftly navigate the future of tomorrow while maintaining great quality lives and healthy minds?
2) How can we best adapt to the future of work to ensure we’re well connected with the resources available and mentally healthy?
