Can You Hear Me Now?: Answering the call for increased mental health services and leveraging the opportunities for enhanced student and employee mental wellness

Thursday, April 30th | 12:00pm - 1:00pm | ZOOM Only

Have mental health difficulties affected your students, a loved one or yourself? Most likely, because in the United States almost half of adults will experience a mental illness during their lifetime. Having mental health challenges increases the risk of serious physical health problems, substance abuse, student dropouts and long-term unemployment. Depression and anxiety disorders alone cost the global economy $1 trillion every year in lost productivity. Unfortunately, these negative consequences are even more pervasive amongst underrepresented and marginalized populations. Despite these enormous difficulties, I will share how society at large and UArizona are enhancing their responses to better address this important public health concern. Furthermore, we will explore and discuss practical ways we can all support one another to increase our collective mental wellness.
