Nova Scotia Workplace Mental Health and PTSD Conference

The Nova Scotia Workplace Mental Health and PTSD Conference will create networking opportunities and increase awareness and education about workplace mental health injuries, specifically PTSD.

The conference will provide an opportunity to gain a greater understanding of workplace mental health injuries, PTSD, prevention and early intervention strategies, support system best practices, and innovative treatment options.

It is also an opportunity to engage diverse groups to understand best practices, where there may be gaps, and identify next steps to help address issues facing those who suffer from occupational mental health injuries and PTSD.
