CP-Net Presents:

Growing up with CP: Mental health & well-being

April 21, 2017 8:30-9:30am Pacific time

This free webinar, offered by The Childhood Cerebral Palsy Integrated Neuroscience Discovery Network (CP-NET), will explore the intersection of mental health and cerebral palsy, by highlighting the lived experience and research from the CP-NET MyStory project. The MyStory project studies the physical health, mental health, chronic stress, and overall well-being of adolescents and young adults with cerebral palsy.

This webinar was created and will be run by young adults for young adults, and will explore how young people can be better supported in developing positive outcomes in mental health and well-being. It will also be informative and educational for parents and health professionals, who are looking to better understand the experience of living with cerebral palsy and the implications this can have on a young person’s mental health.

Presenters include:

Jessica Geboers- Journalist & CP-NET Community Advisor

Georgia Beauchemin- Student & CP-NET Community Advisor

Jan Willem Gorter- MyStory Principal investigator & Director of CanChild
