About the event

In March of 2020, our lives as we knew them changed. According to the World Health Organization, “Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.” Worldwide to date, there have been over 124 million cases documented, and over 2.73 million deaths. There’s no debating that COVID-19 has had an unprecedented impact on the world.

According to CAMH, "It may be a while yet before we know the full measure of the impact of COVID-19 on our mental health, but preliminary surveys indicate that many Canadians are reporting higher levels of psychological distress."

So let's talk about it.

Join us virtually on Wednesday, November 24 to hear about the effect of COVID-19 on mental health in our community directly from frontline workers.
