The Future of Mental Health and Wellness

Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and all six of his living predecessors will join President Sian Leah Beilock for a panel discussion seeking solutions to the national mental health crisis.
The moderated conversation, The Current and Former U.S. Surgeons General Discuss the Future of Mental Health and Wellness, will begin at 1 p.m. on Sept. 28.
“Nationwide, mental health is an urgent challenge that health care professionals, educators, and leaders at every level must address head on,” says President Beilock, who has made the goal of improving the mental health and wellness of the community a priority for her administration.
“As institutional leaders, researchers, doctors, and thinkers, we in higher education have an imperative to go beyond bestowing knowledge-we have a responsibility to identify and address root causes of the crisis while also providing young people with the tools they need to feel healthy and connected.”
Talking about the mental health crisis with the surgeons general, who have played critical roles in addressing major health issues such as smoking, AIDS, and opioids, is intended to help bring a more national focus to the problem.

I was present for this seminar. It was refreshing. Speakers in office back to 1990. All remarkably sincere from those serving from Reagan to Biden administrations. explaining need for sound science public issue education, policies that meet shared needs of vastly different populations. The importance of trust compassion kindness and pitfalls of demonization, politización. Skip first 13 min. Then speaking starts.

Excuse me. Do not skip the first 13 minutes! If you are, as Dr. DAVID SATCHER pointed out, a Leader who knows enough, cares enough and does enough. Do not skip the first 13 minutes as our colleague suggests!

I love how masks work while standing but are unnecessary when sitting.
