The Douglas Institute provides its partners with a wide range of practice-based support activities. These activities include videoconference training developed in partnership with the McGill RUIS specifically for the needs of mental health partners from regions outside Montreal. This rich and varied visiotraining program has been offered since January 2008.

Conducted in real time, visiotraining allows professionals and staff working outside of major urban centres to pursue their professional development by furthering their knowledge on specific mental health subjects without having to travel.

Visiotraining sessions are currently offered in French only. Discussions are bilingual. Each interactive session lasts 2 hours and includes pre-course material and a question period. The training sessions are based on concrete experiences and promote discussion between the participants and the presenter. Visiotraining sessions are free to physicians and health professionals.
