About Dr. Kaplan
Dr. Bonnie J Kaplan is a research psychologist, and semi-retired Professor in the University of Calgary’s Cumming School of Medicine.
For many years she studied the role of nutrition in mental illness and brain development.
Now, in retirement, her passion is to teach people how our diet influences our brain and mental health.
Thanks to the generosity of many people, almost $900,000 has been raised (and distributed) to support studies of nutrient treatment of mental health problems.
Watch the Never Alone Global Mental Health Summit held
It is projected that overall, mental health symptoms will substantially intensify during the pandemic. Many will lose hope, lose faith, or lose someone they love. Mental health is being called the “parallel pandemic,” expected to impact more people and for a longer period of time than COVID itself, especially for those without a history of depression and anxiety.
The good news is there are literally hundreds of evidence-based, simple (though not always easy) practices in each of these areas that can be gently included in our lives to boost mental health resilience in a short period of time.
That’s why I was so honoured to be invited to speak on day 3 at the Never Alone Global Mental Health Summit, a free online event held from May 22-24. The Never Alone Summit brought together an extraordinarily diverse group of speakers - 72 in total - to share mental health strategies, practices and practical tools to boost mental and emotional resilience for you and people you love.
Thanks to the co-sponsorship of the John W. Brick Foundation and the Deepak Chopra Foundation, this event is available free on Facebook and YouTube. You can watch any or all of it on-demand.
