The purpose of the national conference is to forward the mission of the organization – to strengthen a recovery and psychosocial rehabilitation culture in Canada. This conference will provide the opportunity to collaborate with people in the field, including people in recovery, family members, service providers, researchers and interested community members; thus strengthening Canada’s network of individuals committed to enhancing awareness of psychosocial rehabilitation and the value of its inclusion in the recovery process. In the next decade we wish to refocus, revitalize and rediscover what psychosocial rehabilitation can offer. The conference will be attractive to individuals seeking an introduction to psychosocial rehabilitation and those with extended knowledge and experience in the field.

The conference committee is seeking abstracts from individuals or agencies who can contribute knowledge, share expertise and creative avenues of “Rediscovering PSR In A New Decade”.
