We are excited to be heading to another sensational setting to learn, share, and network with our colleagues from across the country! This year’s theme is “Centring the Margins for Seniors' Mental Health: Bridging Gaps Through Innovation, Advocacy and Collaboration.” Within this theme, we encourage submissions from all interest holders on innovative approaches to enhance geriatric mental system capacity, including emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, interdisciplinary intersections like ethics and geriatric mental health, interventions prioritising care for those who are underserved and marginalized, best practices for promoting mental health and well-being in older adults, and developing cultural humility and reducing disparities in geriatric mental health care. Submissions that highlight any new or emerging topics, research, or programming are also encouraged. Multidisciplinary perspectives and content geared toward trainees are welcome, as always! We invite you to participate and welcome abstract submissions from across the country and from all disciplines. We hope you will join us at the preeminent meeting for seniors’ mental health in Canada. Sincerely, The 2025 ASM Planning Committee

Abstract Submission Guidelines
Information about Abstract Submissions
- All abstracts must be submitted through the CAGP-CCSMH abstract submission portal.
- We encourage abstract submissions in French.
- Submissions from pharmaceutical companies will not be accepted.
- When submitting your abstract, please answer the following question: “How are you incorporating diversity, inclusivity and/or equity in your presentation?” Please consider this when you are preparing to submit.
- The categories for abstract submissions include poster presentation, oral presentation, workshop, deep-dive presentation, symposium, and clinical case presentation.
- Given that we only have a certain number of spaces available in the program, the 2025 ASM Planning Committee may change the format of the presentation you submit to optimize the number of presentations possible. In many cases, we may accept your presentation in a poster format due to limited space. However, the poster session is a very important and appreciated part of our scientific program—it has left our attendees asking for more!
- All abstracts must be submitted in the standardized format irrespective of presentation preference and must consist of a title, background, methods, results, and conclusions.
- The maximum word count is 250 words.
The abstract categories are defined as follows:
Clinical Case Presentation: This presentation is intended for informative clinical cases. There should be maximal audience participation, interaction, and discussion. The clinical case must be supported by literature and evidence around the teaching and learning points.
Oral Presentation: An oral presentation is approximately 15 minutes in length (the exact time will be confirmed, but this presentation typically consists of an 11-minute talk followed by a 4-minute question and answer period).
- Junior Faculty Award Presentation: Oral presentations where the primary author is within the first five years of a faculty appointment may be considered for the Junior Faculty Award presentation. Finalist presentations will be judged during the 2025 ASM, and the winning recipient will receive a certificate, to be presented at the ASM award ceremony.
Symposium: A symposium is a presentation that consists of two or three separate talks around a similar theme and is 60-90 minutes in duration. To submit your symposium, fill in the required fields, including the overall session abstract and an abstract of no more than 250 words for each individual talk within the symposium.
Workshop: Workshops are 60–90 minute interactive sessions designed to provide hands-on learning experiences and allow attendees to explore specific topics in depth and develop practical skills and/or knowledge. Facilitators often use case studies, group activities, and discussions to engage participants actively. By participating in workshops, attendees can gain insight into best practices, as well as emerging and innovative approaches in their respective fields. Interactive workshops come in various formats, each designed to engage participants and foster collaboration.
Deep-Dive Presentation: A deep-dive presentation is 60 minutes in length, presented by an individual speaker. Deep-dives are suited to sessions offering an in-depth scholarly exploration of a topic with relevant literature review as it relates to 1. Research; 2. Clinical Practice; 3. Program Design, Delivery, and Innovation; and 4. Learning and Development.
Poster Presentation: There will be dedicated poster sessions scheduled throughout the meeting, at which presenters will have the opportunity to interact with delegates. There will also be an award for Top Poster Presenter and our very popular Track Poster Session for trainees, which is a facilitated poster session allowing the presenter the opportunity to receive constructive feedback.
For a sample of an abstract, please take a look at the Book of Abstracts from 2024.
