Thème

Ce colloque vise à réunir l'ensemble des acteurs qui travaillent à garantir un traitement équitable aux jeunes contrevenants aux prises avec des problèmes de santé mentale. Ce sont donc des personnes issues des services de police, des membres d'organismes de santé mentale, des médecins, des avocats et des juges qui aborderont et discuteront des derniers développements et des meilleures pratiques dans les situations de chevauchement de la justice pénale et de la santé mentale. Les objectifs du colloque sont de mettre à jour les connaissances, de favoriser les discussions et de permettre aux participants d'être mieux outillés et d'établir de meilleurs contacts avec les services sociaux et les autres professionnels issus des milieux communautaires, judiciaires, et de la santé.

Theme

This conference is intended to bring together many of the actors responsible for ensuring equitable treatment for persons with mental health problems who come into contact with the criminal justice system. As many challenging cases have revealed and as the ratification by Canada of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities mandates, this is a time for change. Persons with lived experience and their advocates, police officers, lawyers and judges, among others, will collaborate to present and discuss the latest developments and preferred practices at the often difficult intersection of criminal justice and mental health. The goals of the conference include updating attendees, fostering discussion and enabling participants to emerge with better tools and firmer links to other justice, health and social service professionals and to the community.
