The 3rd Global Mental Wellbeing & Substance (Mis)Use Conference - GMWS 2025, the premier knowledge-exchange platform, where mental health, addiction, and the environment converge under the powerful theme Heat, Health and Habits: Shaping the Future in a Changing Climate - July 31 - August 3.
Rising temperatures (Heat), the challenge of preserving physical and mental well-being (Health), and the daily behavioral shifts we must embrace (Habits) define this year’s discussions. As climate change intensifies, the pressures fueling mental health struggles and substance (mis)use—especially among vulnerable communities—this conference unites experts, policymakers, community members and advocates to share evidence-based solutions, spark meaningful collaborations, and shape policies that safeguard and elevate global well-being in an era of environmental transformation.
The GMWS 2025 conference is organized by the New African Canadians (NAC), a not-for-profit providing community-based mental health support, immigration and settlement assistance to individuals and families. GMWS 2025 is also a collaborative partnership with the numerous stakeholders and institutions.
