Mind Matters: Advancing Women’s Mental Health

Women’s mental health is shaped by unique biological and hormonal factors that influence wellbeing throughout every stage of life. These connections are often underrecognized, contributing to gaps in awareness, diagnosis, and access to care.

Join the Economic Club of Canada for a timely discussion on the future of women’s mental health. Bringing together leaders from healthcare, research, policy, and lived experience, this conversation will examine the latest advances in research and care, the importance of early recognition and timely access to treatment, and the collaborative actions needed to improve mental health outcomes for women across Canada.

Hear from Dr. Ariel Dalfen (BRIA), Sarah Downey (CAMH) and Dr. Simone Vigod (University of Toronto and Women’s College Hospital) as they share perspectives on the latest developments in women’s mental health research and care, and the opportunities to strengthen recognition, treatment and access. This conversation will offer mental-health professionals and practitioners an opportunity to engage with leading clinical and research perspectives on improving outcomes for women across Canada.
