Risk and Recovery Forensic Conference

A conference for professionals in mental health, probation and parole, corrections, legal services, and police.

St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton’s Forensic Psychiatry Program is committed to the importance of the academic enterprise. It is through the acquisition of new knowledge through research, knowledge translation and education that allows our program to be a forerunner in mental health research and to deliver the best possible care to the patients we serve.

St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton and McMaster University have considered the impact of COVID-19 on the health and safety of the public, staff, learners and attendees of our annual conference. In light of these changing circumstances, St. Joseph’s and McMaster will hold their 16th Annual Risk and Recovery Forensic Conference as a hybrid event!

Featuring experts on risk assessment, risk management and recovery, the conference is an opportunity to expand your knowledge of forensic psychiatry and contribute to the pursuit of excellence in mental health care.

The conference will be held at the Sheraton Hamilton Hotel and online via Zoom facilitated by an online platform. Stimulating keynote speakers will address a variety of engaging topics. Participants will choose from numerous seminars to address topics in forensic mental health in more detail.
