Registration closed on June 8th. We look forward to seeing you at the Summit!
The Wellness Summit is an annual event for the HCA Community of Practice to gather to learn, share and celebrate the work being done across the province to strengthen post-secondary mental health and wellness. Rooted in the foundation of HCA, we are excited to explore this year’s theme of Connection, Collaboration, and Celebration together!
The Summit will take place over three consecutive days to ensure participants have multiple opportunities to attend online synchronous sessions. Each day will focus on one element of the theme with sessions that provide space to connect, share resources and learn from one another in ways that inspire action toward the creation of caring campus communities.
Within the main theme of Connection, Collaboration, and Celebration, we will be exploring the following two subthemes:
- Working collaboratively across campus
- Fostering connection, community, and belonging
