This ‘Contagion Year’ revealed troublesome inequities, yielded important insights, and pushed new approaches into being. As we move forward beyond the current crisis, we must consider how to establish a ‘new normal’. This morning we briefly explore two of the many important issues, one technological and one behavioral, each with implications for equity and each carrying opportunities for efficacious change.
Objectives:
-Note at least two challenges communities face as a result of our greater reliance on technology.
-Identify at least two innovative and equitable approaches to new technological applications.
-State at least two challenges individuals have faced during these stressful times.
-Provide at least two examples of innovative and equitable approaches to improve access to mental health services.
