"Encouraging findings of reduced depressive symptoms and improved coping led @MendelsonTamar's team to further adapt the program for middle schools to reach young people at earlier ages and promote their positive transition into high school." publichealth.jhu.edu/2023/ra…

In her reporting on mental health, @aneripattani’s found that state governments are learning that truly investing in mental health means addressing systemic issues like housing instability and food scarcity. Hear more from Aneri in our latest episode: bit.ly/3DiUuAU

ALT A quote from Aneri Pattani in white text on a webbed, multicolored background that reads, “We can't just intervene at the point when someone is in a mental health crisis…. There's a limitation to what we can solve with just the medical interventions.” The Death, Sex & Money logo is centered at the bottom in the same white text.

As we wrap up the Bloomberg @AmericanHealth Summit, I'm inspired by our new ideas and stronger vision for the future of public health.
The needs of our country are urgent, but I believe deeply in our ability to unleash the #PowerofPublicHealth in communities across our nation.
