Conveniently located on campus at the Life Sciences Centre, we’re only a short walk from UBC Hospital and neighbouring bus stops.

As always, dinner and the workshops are on us – all you have to bring is yourself and an open mind! (And maybe something to jot down a few notes on)
November 22, 2019
The event falls on a Friday evening, and will be from
5:30 pm – 9:00 pm. Stay for as long or as short as you like!
Introducing our keynote speaker: Dr. Eli Puterman!
Dr. Eli Puterman is an assistant professor at the University of British Columbia’s School of Kinesiology where he studies the short- and long-term effects of exercise on limiting the damage caused by chronic stress on our bodies. His research demonstrates that adults who maintain an active lifestyle do not have similar wear and tear in the face of adversity compared to those who are less active. He is recognized as a Canada Research Chair and a Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research Scholar, and has previously been awarded early career awards from the Society of Behavioral Medicine, the Academy of Behavioral Medicine Research, and in 2018, the International Society for Psychoneuroendocrinology.
