Using CARES Act Funding to Improve Population Mental Health
Overview
- How it is essential for behavioral health to work in conjunction with public health to improve overall mental well-being within our communities.
- Why this need for collaboration is even more essential in the face of COVID 19 and the associated emotional distress; civil and social unrest; and health disparities experienced by socially disadvantaged populations.
- How empowering communities with self-help prevention and intervention resources can alleviate mental health issues “upstream” before they escalate into co-morbid acute care episodes.
