More information on these events, including location, will be available at the Auxiliary's booth and hospitality suite at the Toronto Convention Centre.
The auxiliary is always eager to gain new members who are interested in furthering the work and goals of the organization, including advocacy of the mentally ill and support of APA and the profession of psychiatry.
