500,000 Canadians miss work every day because of mental health problems.
And two-thirds of them are women.

* What will it take to improve the quality of workplace experience for
women with mental health issues?
* What action can be taken to help women returning from a mental health
leave of absence, reintegrate into the workplace?
* How can different aspects of the system be engaged to create
meaningful change?

Complex problems require creative solutions and many perspectives.

The X Effects Conference, designed for clinicians, executives, managers
and human resource professionals offers a dynamic and innovative
solution-focused program featuring:

* New knowledge and perspectives on women and mental health in the
global workplace.
* Signs, symptoms & triggers: trauma, addiction and reproductive mental
health conditions and how they are expressed in the workplace.
* Facilitated breakout sessions that invite participants to help
identify the problems, share promising initiatives, ask the tough
questions and develop new responses.
* Opportunities to engage system leaders in exploring new possibilities
and identify investment opportunities that can make a difference.

Conference Chair: Dr. Anthony Levitt, Chief of Psychiatry, Women's
College Hospital and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.
Hosted by Women's College Hospital's Mental Health Department.
EARLY BIRD DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 27
