Reimagining the Mind: Innovations in Mental Health Research and Care

January 28 @ 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Explore how UBC brain science, emerging technologies, and compassion are coming together to shape the future of mental health.

Mental health research is entering a bold new era. As rates of depression, anxiety, and other psychiatric conditions continue to rise, researchers at UBC are developing groundbreaking tools to offer new possibilities for diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. From brain stimulation therapies like TMS, to ethical applications of social robotics, to movie-based neuroimaging tools, discover how innovation is expanding the ways we support mental wellness across the lifespan.

UBC Connects at Robson Square, in partnership with the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health, presents leading UBC scholars Dr. Fidel Vila-Rodriguez, Dr. Julie Robillard, and Dr. Tamara Vanderwal in a conversation about the technologies reshaping mental health care.

Free and open to all.

This event is part of a three-part series co-hosted by UBC Connects at Robson Square and the Djavad Mowafaghian Centre for Brain Health.
