For more about the Conference, including Abstract Submission Guidelines,

The Conference theme, “My Identity Matters” invites attendees to examine the many ways in which a person’s identity or sense of self is influenced and the effect on that person’s mental health. The conference will consider these aspects of identity:

personal identity – how individuals define themselves based on what is important and what matters to them;
social identity – given to individuals in their social group such as age, gender, race, and ethnicity or an identity an individual adopts based on a group to which they belong, and are social constructs;
collective identity – an identity shared by a social group, where individuals have a choice in who they choose to identify within that group; gender identity – one’s personal innermost concept of self as male, female, a blend of both or none; and sexual identity – how one identifies based on their emotional, romantic or sexual attraction to others.

Acknowledging many identity constructs, the Conference invites submissions along the following subject areas:

Race, Ethnicity, Culture
Religion, Spirituality
Immigrant, Heritage, Language
Gender & Sexuality
Social Class, Education, Occupation (Wealthy, Sex Worker, Professor)
Age (youth, adult, senior citizen, elder).
Parents and family members of LGBTQ+ children
Health status (HIV+, Cancer survivor, Disabled, Mentally Ill)
Survivor (Domestic Violence, Intimate Partner Violence, PTSD)
Addiction and Recovery (alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, and other psychotropic substances)
