The forum will have more than 70 participants, including parents, clinical and scientific leaders and senior executives of American and Canadian companies. Guests will also include officials from diplomatic, government, military, law enforcement and local communities.

"Not enough families reach out for help and we want them to know they are not alone - there is hope and a second chance at life."

At the forum, Canadian and American parents will discuss their experiences in coping with their children's mental illness and addiction issues and the challenge of navigating the health care system.

"Employers have a strong economic incentive to invest in the mental health of working Canadians and Americans," said Dr. Ronald Kessler, Professor of Health Care Policy at Harvard Medical School, a leading authority on mental health in the workplace and co-chair of the US/Canada Forum.

Edgar Kaiser, Chairman and CEO of Kaiser Resources and philanthropist, will deliver the keynote address. It will highlight the prevalence of depression, anxiety and substance abuse throughout the lifespan of working parents and the enormous economic and social implications.

In addition, Eileen M. Brennan, Ph.D., of Portland State University's School of Social Work, will share highlights from more than a decade of research on the challenges that parents of children with mental health and addiction issues experience in the workplace as they attempt to manage both caregiver and employment responsibilities. Their findings will be published in Work, Life, and the Mental Health System of Care, due out July 2008.
