About this Event

This event will be held in person, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

What’s good for the body is good for the brain, from our formative days to our more senior years. The ‘Nurturing the Developing Brain’ talk, part of the 2024-25’s Brain Health Across the Lifespan series, will present what researchers know about the brain from investigation into neurodevelopmental conditions and offer an overview of a relational science approach to brain health. It will also explore the intersections of Indigenous ways of knowing and Western concepts of neuroscience in childhood brain development, focusing on early years until the age of 25.

A panel of experts in research, advocacy and outreach, and delivery of care will offer different perspectives on ways to support positive outcomes in cognitive development and health and wellbeing in young people.


An Indigenous Smudging Ceremony will be conducted at the in-person portion of the talk. All are welcome to participate as a matter of choice.



PANELISTS:

  • Dr. Stephanie Ameis, a senior scientist and the associate director of the Cundill Centre for Child and Youth Depression at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, as well as a member of the Cohort Network for Adolescents and Youth with Mental Health Multimorbidity (CALM).
