TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - July 25, 2016) - The world's largest Meaning Conference will meet in Toronto July 28^th to 31^st. Leading researchers and clinicians will gather at the Novotel North York Hotel to tackle the problem of terrorism and the mental health crisis and explore ways to promote wellbeing.

P. Wong, Conference Chair and a leading voice in meaning-centered research and therapy.

Bestselling authors Rabbi Michael Lerner, Alex Pattakos, Jordan Peterson and Ronald de Sousa will offer hopeful insights regarding the paradox of terrorism and heroism from their respective expertise.
