We’re looking forward to the You Are Not Alone: Child Trauma & Therapy Conference
📍 Toronto | 🗓 November 13–14, 2026
This transformative two-day gathering is devoted exclusively to child trauma — a rare and urgently needed focus in today’s conference landscape. Bringing together clinicians, researchers, educators, policymakers, leaders, and families, the conference creates space for learning, reflection, and meaningful connection.
This year’s keynote will be delivered by Dr. Ed Tronick, alongside leading voices including Dr. Patricia Vickers, Dr. Elizabeth Warner, Dr. Ed Hamlin, and Dr. Ruth Lanius.
Grounded in compassion and respectful dialogue, this gathering blends deep content with authentic connection — from ceremonial openings to curated networking and rich Q&A sessions.
We’re proud to be part of a community advancing more effective, compassionate, and equitable trauma care for children and families.

On International Women’s Day, we recognize the women and girls whose voices, leadership, and resilience shape our communities — and the work still needed to ensure equity in mental health care.
Women and girls often carry disproportionate caregiving, emotional labour, and systemic barriers that affect mental well-being across generations.
Today, we celebrate progress and recommit to care that is equitable, inclusive, and responsive. 💜

Today is Self-Injury Awareness Day — a reminder that self-injury is often a sign of deep emotional pain, not attention-seeking behaviour.
For children and youth, support starts with:
• Listening without judgment
• Taking concerns seriously
• Offering compassion, not assumptions
At George Hull Centre, we believe early, caring conversations can open the door to healing and connection. 💙
