The 14th Annual Nova Scotia Career Development Association Conference is being held in Dartmouth Nova Scotia - May 31st to June 1st 2012. There could be no better theme then HOPE. People living with mental health challenges will tell you that hope and optimism are the cornerstone of their recovery. Career practitioners can play a critical role in restoring hope!
On the morning of May 30th we will be hosting a 'Charting the Course: Mapping the Career Practitioner Role in Supporting People with Mental Health Challenges' pre-conference roundtable to create a plan that will bridge the gap between what career practitioners know about supporting clients with mental health challenges, and what career practitioners need to learn to do this more effectively. Neasa Martin, Project researcher, will present the highlights of the project findings and will co-facilitate with Roy Muise a Peer Specialist with Self Help Connection in Dartmouth a roundtable planning session.
Anyone who has a stake in the career development and mental health is welcome. If you are interested contact: Kathy McKee < This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
