On March 11, 2026 (9am-4pm), McMaster’s Centre for Advanced Research on Mental Health and Society (ARMS) will bring together students, researchers, mental health practitioners and community partners to discuss the changing landscape of mental health at the post-secondary level, and to re-centre student lived experience as a vital form of expertise in shaping the next phase of student mental health research.The program includes interdisciplinary panels on social and emotional wellbeing in higher education, barriers and facilitators to student mental health care, generative AI’s implications for learning and creativity, alongside student-led lived-experience panels and workshops focused on disconnection, burnout, and uncertainty about the future.We welcome faculty, staff, students, and community members to register and take part in a collaborative discussion on student mental well-being. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks will be provided.The Art of ConnectionA key feature of this symposium is the Art of Connection: A student mental health showcase hosted by ARMS during the evening of March 12, 2026.This showcase aims to initiate campus-wide discussions on mental health challenges and act as a powerful physical representation of a student-centred self-discovery process. The goal is to reduce stigma associated with mental health issues and provide a channel where students feel comfortable sharing personal struggles, which is an important first step towards improving mental wellness.Registration for the Art of Connection is separate from the symposium ticket and can be found at here!A Special Thank You to…The Student Mental Health Symposium is brought to you by the McMaster Museum of Art (MMA), the McMaster Centre for Health Equity (MCHE), the McMaster Community Research Platform (CRP), and the Centre for Advanced Research on Mental Health and Society (ARMS). https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/15d91330-fcc5-11f0-875c-5f5594b18118-rimg-w592-h740-dcf2f2f7-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/hamilton/student-mental-health-symposium/100001981356615975 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, mental-health, art, workshops, nonprofit, artificial-intelligence - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Hamilton - **state**: ON - **country**: Canada - **location**: Alumni Memorial Hall - **lat**: 43.2640002 - **long**: -79.9196403 - **full address**: Alumni Memorial Hall, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Student Mental Health Symposium - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events3/banners/b1214af7ae9ee6c7685b440bee2b6d9ed53883e3a4c3ebd5a7cc4d9081bf4d46-rimg-w1200-h600-dce8edf5-gmir.jpg?v=1769658387 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Student Mental Health Symposium being held? - **A:** Student Mental Health Symposium takes place on Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 09:00 am to Wed, 11 Mar, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Alumni Memorial Hall, 1280 Main Street West, Hamilton, Canada. - **Q**: Who is organizing Student Mental Health Symposium? - **A:** Student Mental Health Symposium is organized by Advanced Research on Mental Health and Society (ARMS). - **Q**: Who is this event for?
