During the podcast, APA Looking beyond unplugged will have an opportunity to carry on the conversation from our expert panelists, discuss in more detail updates and breakdowns of current events and mental health, and explore and tackle at a deeper level, t he complex factors and determinants that impact mental health outcomes. Please, if you can take time out of your busy schedule, join us as we discuss topics around climate change, clinician bias, the collaborative care model and LGBTQIA plus mental health.
