Communicating Effectively About Mental Health


Mental health is a critical, ongoing public health issue and a leading cause of disability worldwide. In the U.S., more than one in four adults report elevated symptoms of poor mental health, and its effects can last throughout a person’s life. Public health communicators are exploring how to lead meaningful conversations to support and improve mental health in their communities.

In this webinar, lead researchers will introduce COVID-19 and Life Stressors Impact on Mental Health and Well-Being (CLIMB)—a nationally representative study that aims to understand what matters most for mental health and how we can create the healthiest population possible.

Topics will include:

  • Topline findings from the CLIMB study
  • How to use CLIMB data and other city/department/community-specific data to create impactful messaging and campaigns
  • Tips to effectively include mental health in broader public health messaging
