Time: 12 noon - 1: 30 p.m.
Location: Lakeshore Campus, Community Room (L1017)
Dr. Kwame McKenzie is a psychiatrist at CAMH, a professor at the University of Toronto, a policy advisor, and the author of Society and Psychosis and Social Capital and Mental Health
"It is often said that there is no health without mental health. It may also be said that there is no wealth without mental health. Indeed, mental capital ��� i.e., cognitive intelligence, emotional intelligence, etc. -- is of vital importance for economic development. But public health interventions that aim to change individual exposure to risk factors or to build environments that promote resilience may inadvertently neglect or even increase disparities in health and civic engagement. In this lecture, Dr. McKenzie will discuss how changing the way interventions are chosen and designed may improve community health by increasing mental capital, encouraging active citizenship, and promoting equity."
