Good Day


The BC Centre for Excellence in HIV/AIDS (BC-CfE) COAST<http://bccfe.ca/research/epidemiology-population-health/coast> team invites you to an exciting virtual Café Scientifique titled “Climate Impacts on the Mental Health and Wellness of British Columbians” on February 1st, 2020. This event represents a collaboration between the BC-CfE, the University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University and the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, and has been generously funded by the Pacific Institute of Climate Solutions.


The event, to be held over Zoom due to pandemic restrictions, hopes to raise awareness and facilitate community engagement on the topic of climate change and mental health and specifically discuss the pathways by which mental health and wellness and climate change influence each other. Through presentations and an interactive Q&A, we will hear from two well respected academics in the field of climate change and mental health, Dr. Ashlee Cunsolo and Dr. Maya Gislason. This event will begin with an Indigenous Ceremonial Opening by Elder Valerie Nicholson, a peer Indigenous Research Associate at the BC-CfE and will be moderated by the passionate youth climate activist, Abhay Sachal, co-founder and director at Break the Divide Foundation.


We invite you to share this event with your networks! Please register to join us from 4-6pm PST on Monday February 1st, 2021.


Please register in advance for this event. After registering, you’ll get a confirmation email with information about joining the meeting.
