This year on November 23 we will host our 33rd Annual Provincial Conference in Halifax at Pier 21, sponsor this educational event, learn more about schizophrenia and psychosis, network with friends and colleagues.
Would you like to help people and their families living with mental illness. Hosting an event is a way to do so!! Third party events are welcomed, host a dinner party, a day of yoga, offer your talent as a musician, spoken word and we will help with branding and volunteers if required. Everything we do depends upon the generosity of people who care!!
