Mental Health
Innovations in mental health are long overdue; the COVID-19 event has brought this into even sharper focus. The very nature of mental health services makes technological interventions difficult. However, innovation in the field, being driven by the public health crisis created by the virus, is now necessary. The Community Foundation for Northern Virginia is hosting a webinar to discuss how that innovation might happen. Experts in the mental health field will share their insights. Register here. Thursday, May 21, 8:30 to 9:30 a.m.
