We will have a dynamic overview of the mental health consequences of the COVID pandemic. First, we present studies on increasing mental illness prevalence and the developing mental health provider gap. Secondly, Aunt Martha's Health and Wellness, a leading provider in the State of Illinois, will present their experience with the demand and provision of services. Finally, we will examine some of the best emerging practices nationally and regionally implemented by municipal governments, health systems, or other care providers.

By attending this session you will:

Learn the statistical highlights of the last two years’ increase in mental health illness incidence and demand for services
Discover the approach by a Chicago area health agency to the mental health concerns of clients and neighborhoods
Obtain the national view of emerging best practices for mental health care during the COVID pandemic
