Description

Our Philosophy The Living with Mental Illness Conference (LWMIC) is dedicated to providing information and support to those individuals who live with someone who has a mental illness. It provides an opportunity for those caregivers and family to gain knowledge and support in a caring environment. The Conference The LWMI Conference is a non-profit provincial conference that has been in existence for 23 years. Approximately 200 people attend the conference on an annual basis including consumers of mental health and their families and friends as well as professionals and students of healthcare. The conference also has a concurrent child and youth conference which provides information and support to children and teens that have parents or loved ones with a mental illness. It is a fun, supportive environment for attendees to learn about their parent's illness ans to also learn coping strategies to manage the stress that often occurs within the family. The Conference Format The conference follows a similar format from year to year; a family panel allows attendants to hear others' stories about what it is like to care for someone with a mental health issue, and to learn some ideas and tips for coping and staying healthy. This is then followed by a keynote speaker, an expert in an area of mental health or self-care. The afternoon consists of breakout sessions that talk about various specific diagnoses, and provide specific information and treatment options. Attendants have the opportunity to choose which topics that they want to learn about. The Committee The committee is made up of volunteers from various sectors in the community; healthcare professionals, support group leaders, as well as family of consumers, and consumers of mental health.
