The Canadian Mental Health Association event featuring Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau as its keynote speaker.
She tells CHSJ News some of the television programming today is very damaging to the teenage psyche.
She says there are things in the media and in magazines and in fashion shows that encourage a culture of self-hatred of trying to change something about yourself.
Gregoire-Trudeau says it ranges from fakes breasts to fake nails and even calf implants.
She also spoke of an ER doctor in Montreal who sees more and more teenagers coming in with mental health problems.
All proceeds from the event go the local chapter of the Canadian Mental Health Association for the programs and services.
