Session with Palestinian Mental Health Professional Dr. Samah Jabr

Join us for a meaningful professional learning gathering in collaboration with ISNA Canada and Naseeha, featuring internationally respected psychiatrist and author Dr. Samah Jabr.

As we witness ongoing crises around the world and within our own communities, health care providers and mental health professionals are being asked to carry increasing layers of grief, moral distress, and complexity. This gathering offers a space to pause, reflect, and deepen our capacity to care with integrity and compassion.

This event is designed for psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, social workers, physicians, nurses, chaplains, and allied health professionals seeking deeper insight into trauma-informed, culturally grounded, and justice-aware care.

Together, we will create a space that honours lived experience, strengthens professional solidarity, and nurtures hope in the midst of uncertainty.

We invite you to join us in this important conversation, for our clients, patients, communities, and ourselves.

Early bird: $50 (Ends Mar 25th)
Regular: $60
