This year, the third edition of the Colloquium on Integrative Health will be held in a special setting owing to the pandemic. Completely online and lasting one week, the event will enable participants from around the world to access a greater number of presentations and workshops, in French, in English, and in real or delayed time.
Always attuned to topical issues, your interests and your concerns, the scientific committee has ensured that special attention will be given to the theme of psychological health and well-being in the choice of its presentations, since the current global situation raises much concern and anxiety in the population, as it does among clinicians, and to the theme of traditional Indigenous medicine through the participation of Indigenous people who will share their paradigm of health and illness.
As the integrative health approach agrees on the importance of the physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual dimensions in the search for a life-health balance unique to each person, the themes of food, addiction and all the interrelated factors that impact the health and well-being of individuals and communities will also be discussed. At all times, the approach advocates a safe mix of conventional health care and services with complementary approaches, in keeping with the preferences and culture specific to each person.
