Event Description:
As we emerge from one global pandemic, America faces another critical public health issue: a pervasive mental health crisis. Twenty percent of both adults and children in America experience mental illness, and those numbers are growing. When we consider the World Health Organization’s principle that “health…is not merely the absence of illness,” we know the crisis is even more serious than this statistic indicates and will require more – and more equitable – mental health services, resources, and innovative solutions. Join us on Wednesday, November 16, as local experts explore mental health and well-being, how the mental health crisis impacts both individuals and communities, and what we can do about it.
