Overview:
This is a 90-minute recording of a live webinar. The Southeast Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC) co-sponsored this webinar.
The COVID-19 Pandemic has placed both mental health and public health workers on the front lines in an array of on-going stressful situations. As a result, mental health and public health agencies have had to innovate and adapt practices to support and care for their workforce and the populations they serve. This townhall event will feature mental health and public health agency representatives sharing insight on ways they have addressed COVID-19 while also supporting staff, the value of Mental Health-Public Health partnerships, and the related challenges they anticipate during the first half of 2021. Our panelists for this event include Dr. Audrey Arona, Chief Executive Officer and District Health Director for the Gwinnett-Newton-Rockdale County Health Department, and Jennifer Hibbard, Chief Executive Officer for Viewpoint Health.
