COVID-19, Mental Health, and the Need for Equity September 3-4, 2020 This event is free to the public and all are encouraged to register! MHA’s 2020 Annual Conference: COVID-19, Mental Health, and the Need for Equity will be held September 3-4 from 10:00 AM 5:00 PM ET online.... Over the last few months, the world was thrown into a global pandemic. As the number of cases of COVID-19 increased, so did the associated experiences of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. COVID-19 also brought to light what many in the health care and social justice communities already knew that Black, Indigenous, People of Color (BIPOC) are disproportionately negatively impacted and are dying at much higher rates. Adding to that the systemic racism that so many people of color bear every day, the trauma and mental health implications are significant. The last few months have changed everything - and the world is looking at a new normal. Our 2020 Annual Conference now virtual will discuss it all. From increases in depression and anxiety rates, to adjusting workplaces and employee mental health, to addressing disproportionate inequities due to systemic barriers and historical adversity - MHA is talking about it. Join us. https://mhanational.org/2020/annual-conference
