The Waypoint Research Institute at Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care is hosting a free conference at the University of Toronto called the Annual Forensic Psychiatry Research Conference. It will be held on April 28-30, 2015, and will feature diverse topics, both academic and applied, relating to forensic mental health care research and service delivery. Primarily, the topics will reflect two themes: 1) issues in forensic assessment; and 2) issues in forensic treatment.
This conference will be of interest to anyone interested in forensic mental health and addictions, whether they are an academic, researcher, clinician, policy-maker, educator, or student. In particular, the conference aims to attract those who are associated with the University of Toronto Forensic Psychiatry Division, and the three affiliated teaching hospitals: Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences (Ontario Shores), and Waypoint Centre for Mental Health Care (Waypoint).
In addition, the conference will offer the following three workshops: (please note, a small fee will apply for registration in workshops)
