When will the next conference be?
We are currently planning our 2026 conference. Join our mailing list to be notified once the date is confirmed.
Can I present at CARE4YOU?
If you have an idea for CARE4YOU, reach out to Amanda O’Handley, our Communications & Content Lead, at amanda@tendacademy.ca.
Is this conference really free?
Yes! In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, CARE4YOU was hosted as a virtual event for the first time in 2020. In 2021, we decided to continue to offer this event at no cost as a way to give back to our communities.
Who should attend?
Helping professionals. If your job is to help others – whether that be through treatment, counselling, frontline support, advocacy, volunteering, community outreach, or customer service – you are a helping professional.
Who hosts this conference?
TEND. We provide education and consulting to a broad spectrum of workforces encountering stress and intense workloads. Our TEND Specialists are experienced professionals from the fields of mental health, organizational health, and resilience integration.
I missed the live session. Are recordings available?
Yes. Recordings are available on the TEND Toolkit.
You may purchase access to the Toolkit for $99 CAD per year which includes access to all past CARE4YOU sessions since 2020.
