SEPTEMBER EVENTS

Thriving in the Mental Health Landscape: A Symposium for Ontario Practitioners

This year, we are trying something new: a day-long hybrid symposium! Join us on September 19 for "Thriving in the Mental Health Landscape: A Symposium for Ontario Practitioners." Focused on the theme of professionalizing the profession, our hybrid event (in-person and livestreamed) will be affordable, accessible, and interactive.

Beginning with a keynote speaker discussing the role of mental health in healthcare and the importance of collaboration among professionals, you’ll continue the day participating in sessions designed to enhance your skills, understand your needs, and improve your business acumen, including guidance on navigating ethical standards in practice. Since this is a streamlined symposium, you do not have to choose between sessions!

Expect interactive discussions, idea-sharing, and exploration of key components of being a mental health professional in Ontario. The day concludes with our AGM and a President’s Reception, offering a chance to engage with the OAMHP community and celebrate our shared achievements.

Date: Thursday, September 19, 2024 from 8:00am - 4:00pm (Symposium)

Who can attend: OAMHP members and non members

PAST EVENTS

Supervision: The Evolution of Practice  

Supervision: the Evolution of Practice is an online workshop series for mental health professionals engaged in or wishing to engage in a supervisory relationship, spanning all stages of career progression:

  • Clinical supervisors who are new to supervision - and those who have experience as supervisors
  • Students and supervisees who engage in or wish to engage in supervision
  • It brings together OAMHP members, non-members, and various stakeholders to build connection and that provides clear direction and best practices in clinical supervision.

Writing Case Notes Workshop Registration 

This 2-hour participatory workshop is designed to complement the Record Keeping and Documentation self-directed online course, and is only open to registrants of that course. Participants will explore best practices in note-taking and documentation standards in Ontario. Those attending will be able to further process note-taking course material, and integrate their learning in a facilitated group-based setting. Participants will be invited to take part in experiential exercises, and to bring their own questions for in-depth discussion and engagement on fine-tuning documentation skills and ensuring satisfactory practices.
