2016 Hamilton – 6th Annual Conference

  

CACBT-ACTCC hosted the 6th Annual Conference, which took place at Sheraton Hamilton Hotel in Hamilton, Ontario on May 5-7, 2016.

This conference was a resounding success! Our action- packed program included 8 workshops, 3 clinical and research symposia, 2 panel discussions, a keynote address, the annual General Meeting, as well as a bustling poster session featuring 58 posters. Approximately 300 people attended the conference – a record high! The pre- conference public panel discussion, “Getting Help for Mental Illness: Understanding the Obstacles” was also very well attended and received by stakeholders and members of the community. Dr. Randi McCabe chaired the Program Committee and Dr. Irena Milosevic chaired the Local Arrangements Committee.

Some of the speakers included: Martin Antony, Michel Dugas, Peter Bieling, Kim Edwards, Ingrid Söchting, Traci McFarlane, Kathryn Trottier, David A. Moscovitch, Susanna G. Reimer, Maya Gupta and Michael W. Best. The conference also included a Presidential Panel that consisted of: Randi McCabe, Deborah Dobson, Kerry Mothersill, and Pasquale Roberge.
