Mason Vision Series presents Christianne Esposito-Smythers speaking on America's mental health crisis

Monday, April 24, 2023 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM EDT
Broadcast On Television

There is a mental health crisis in America as millions are seeking help. The system is overwhelmed with patients having limited options and experiencing long waits, in addition to high costs, insufficient insurance coverage, and limited information about available services. In addition, parents and families are struggling to locate the right kind of help for adolescents and young adults who are experiencing mental and behavioral health issues such as stress and suicidality. Given the enormity of the challenges, Dr. Christianne Esposito-Smythers will educate listeners on how to seek the right kind of treatment for youth suicidality and what to look for in a provider, outline preventative measures that people can take, offer resources, and discuss the work that she is conducting to the increase availability of culturally responsive evidence-based treatment services for youth and families.

The Mason Vision Series will be live streamed through GMU-TV. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in the discussion by submitting questions via email (GMUProv@gmu.edu) or Twitter using #VisionSeriesMason. RSVP here.
