A landmark event is being planned for October 22nd to 24th, 2010 in London, Ontario, Canada: Thriving in 2010 and Beyond: Defining our roles, exploring control. Designing the whole.
This national conference hosted by the Canadian Mental Health Association (CMHA) will bring together from across the country:
- People who have lived experience with mental illness
- Their family members and friends
- Service providers
- Front line care workers
- Academics and researchers
- Policy makers from across the country
Thriving in 2010 and Beyond will closely inspect the concept of "Thriving" – what makes someone with a mental illness, a consumer or survivor, become a thriver and how can those successes be replicated within and outside the mental healthcare system? A "thriver" is someone with a mental illness who succeeds in his or her chosen way by focusing on abilities and not disabilities.
As a part of this milestone event, CMHA wants to hear from you via their YouTube Contest. Its simple its fun, plus you can WIN one of two great prizes 1) A Conference Pass for Thriving in 2010 or 2) Ipod Touch.
Here’s how to enter -- visit the Thriving2010 YouTube Channel and upload a video response to the Intro Video (special thanks to Alicia Sarah Raimundo and friends for taking the time to make this) completing an answer to, "What does THRIVING mean to you?" or "What was your THRIVING moment?"
