Advancing Women’s Mental Health through Research

Where: In-person (Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre) + Virtual

We would like to invite you to the upcoming Eighth Annual Women’s Health Research Symposium to be held in-person (at the Robert H. Lee Alumni Centre on the UBC campus) and virtually (via live-stream) on Wednesday, March 8, 2023.

This event is being co-hosted by the Women’s Health Research Institute and the BC Mental Health and Substance Use Services Research Institute. The theme of this year’s event focuses on advancing women’s mental health through research and will be an opportunity to energize and inspire the BC women’s research community and to spark ideas for future research collaborations.

We are also now accepting submissions for the poster session that will take place during the event. Additional information about poster submission can be found here.

Please note that we will be hosting both a trainee-focused presentation and a mentorship and networking event for trainees engaged in women’s health research directly after the main symposium program.

More information on the program and speakers can be found here.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
