It’s the second and final day of the Digital Mental Health International Congress! It looks like an amazing opportunity to be in the same room as all of those amazing people, and hopefully I can be there as well next year! eMental Health International Collaborative #eMHIC24

Why was the eMental Health International Collaborative hosted in Canada? Was it the most central location between all of the other interested countries? Not complaining though, that makes it easier for me! eMental Health International Collaborative #eMHIC24

The official logo for eMental Health International Collaborative #eMHIC24

Check out all of these flags! How many countries do you think attended the event? I think it’s amazing that so many people from all over the world came together for this event! eMental Health International Collaborative #eMHIC24

Did everyone at eMental Health International Collaborative get free sleeping masks? I would love to know the context behind this photo! #eMHIC24

Wow! What a gorgeous view from eMental Health International Collaborative! I was going to say that I can’t wait to see this next year, but it’ll actually be in Toronto, not Ottawa! #eMHIC24

Networking makes me so nervous! Do you just walk up to someone and start talking? I’ll have to practice before the eMental Health International Collaborative next year! #eMHIC24

Omg I wonder what freebies the in-person attendees received at eMental Health International Collaborative 😍 I always love a good swag bag! #eMHIC24

Here’s some cool “behind the scenes” photos from eMental Health International Collaborative I actually love seeing these, because as an anxious person, it really helps me to understand the environment that I’ll be in before I go! #eMHIC24

Did you attend eMental Health International Collaborative in-person or virtually? #eMHIC24

If you can’t tell by now, I’m posting about eMental Health International Collaborative like crazy, because there’s a competition that the top 3 “influencers” will get free tickets to the event next year!! I couldn’t go because it was too expensive, so cutting any costs possible helps so much! #eMHIC24

I’m really bummed out that I couldn’t attend eMental Health International Collaborative in person, but I think it was really cool that we could still connect with others who were attending! I’m really hoping that these connections can continue on even after the event is over. #eMHIC24

I didn’t get to watch all of eMental Health International Collaborative, but I really loved being able to learn about Kids Help Phone and their RAM initiative! How amazing would it be if youth from all over Canada could access services more easily? #eMHIC24

I literally have to stop and take a moment whenever Isaiah Neil speaks, because it's always so insightful. Thank you Isaiah for coming on my new mental health podcast, "Staya While", and for being willing to have these open and honest conversations with me.
