Working with the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ Recreation Committee,  clinical psychology graduate students gave a series of three talks in July of this year for the community within our university. A series of talks on topics such as “Mental Health 101: Facts, Myths, and Resources”, “Understanding and Overcoming Depression and Anxiety”, and “Mental Health in Childhood and Parenting” attracted a range of people from across campus, with over 50 people in attendance over the series. Combining lectures, videos, and interactive discussions with those in attendance, the presentations were all well received. 

Earlier this month, at the Canadian Psychological Association’s 78^th National Convention in Toronto, the University of ��ݮ��Ƶ’s Clinical Psychology students were a strong presence. Our students were involved in 9 posters and 3 talks during the three days of the convention at the Fairmont Royal York.

Clinical graduate students were strong representatives of the Department of Psychology at this year’s 7^th Annual Conference of the Canadian Association of Cognitive & Behavioural Therapies held in mid-May in Ottawa, ON.
