The event brought diverse voices together to explore community concerns, inspire cross-sector connections, and generate strategies to scale impact on child and youth environmental health.

This year, the program welcomed participants from across Ontario, Quebec, Mexico, and the USA, demonstrating the growing global interest in mindfulness.

In Chalatenango, El Salvador, the "Surviving Memory in Postwar El Salvador" initiative fosters healing and resilience in communities impacted by the civil war and recent gang crackdowns. Through its "Mental Health and Healing" stream, co-led by the Global MINDS Collective, the project promotes mental wellbeing, reconciliation, and youth leadership. Activities include community consultations, capacity-building through Mindful Social Innovation training, and preparations for an MSI Lab to drive community-led mental health innovations and strengthen bonds.
