April 24th & 25th, 2025

The Queering Mental Health™ Conference is returning!

Join us on online on April 24th and 25th, 2025 to spark conversations and generate new knowledge about queer mental health in Canada.

Each year, Queering Mental Health draws together 2SLGBTQIA+ practitioners, advocates, and culture-creators who work at the forefront of the mental health and therapy fields. In 2025, we’ll be hosting the same caliber of exciting speakers with diverse lenses and experiences, and will be generating new and expanded opportunities for community connections.

Whether you attend live or watch recordings, Queering Mental Health is a space for us to gather and collaborate on steering the discussion of our community’s mental health care in Canada.

Queering Mental Health is Our Landing Place’s largest fundraiser of the year, with proceeds providing direct mental health services to Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ community.

“The BEST conference I’ve ever attended! There’s nothing like this anywhere else and everything I’ve learned has enhanced the work I do. Queering Mental Health captured my attention for 2 full days and I left wanting even more. I’ve already registered for next year!”
