Rare Opportunity: FREE Mental Wellness Training with World-Class Leader in Grande Prairie

Being a leader in a community is deeply rewarding. And it can be incredibly challenging.
When crisis hits, uncertainty rises, or pressure builds, leaders are expected to stay strong for everyone else.
But who supports the leaders?
Economic Developers Alberta (EDA) is offering a solution.
We are heading to Grande Prairie to deliver a free, in-person course through the EDA Institute, designed specifically to support the mental wellbeing of community leaders like you.

Mental Well-Being for Community Leaders
Friday, February 20
9AM-3PM
(Immediately following the Growing the North Conference)

This 1-day course is a rare opportunity because you’ll learn from one of the world’s foremost voices on leadership under pressure:

Jolie Wills.
Jolie Wills is a globally respected cognitive scientist, disaster recovery specialist, and founder of the Hummingly Foundation.
Her work blends scientific expertise with lived experience.
She led the psychosocial recovery for the New Zealand Red Cross after the Christchurch earthquakes, an event she also lived through personally, alongside her family and community.
She has spent more than a decade translating the science of how the mind works under pressure and the complexities of post-disaster life, into practical tools for those navigating the challenges of disaster recovery.
EDA CEO Leann Hackman-Carty, herself an expert in economic disaster recovery and resilience, will co-facilitate the session alongside Jolie.
