A Message from the National Network for Aboriginal Mental Health Research (NAMHR):

We are pleased to announce our Summer Institute to be held in Montreal from August 10 to 12, 2009, followed by our Annual Meeting on August 13 and 14, 2009. The themes of this year's event are storytelling, resilience, and media. The Summer Institute will offer participants a variety of workshops on methods and practice in Indigenous mental health research. The Annual Meeting will provide a forum for discussion of activities within this multi-disciplinary field by some of the leading researchers across the country and abroad. Participants will have the opportunity to network with colleagues and national and international mentors. The Annual Meeting is open to all.

The Summer Institute is aimed at graduate students, post-doctoral and clinical fellows who study issues relevant to Indigenous mental health research and those who want to learn more about how to advance their skills in this area. We encourage applications from people working in a broad range of Indigenous mental health research capacities. There are a limited number of seats in our workshops, so please register early. There is no fee to attend these workshops, but registration is required. All travel and accommodation expenses are the responsibility of the registrant.

Note: The deadline for application is July 17, 2009. Please see the attached document for further details.
