The first event in this series, A Mental Health in All Policies Agenda for the New Administration, brought together a panel of leaders from government, foundations, and academia to discuss economic empowerment as a pillar of mental health in all policies agenda that can guide the next administration. Mental health challenges are not only common but carry significant costs, both financially and socially. These issues transcend party lines, presenting a unique opportunity for the new administration to prioritize mental health in public conversation and in policymaking.

The discussion addresses how non-mental health policies can have effects on population mental health, and specifically how economic policies affect population mental health. Speakers will discuss the possibilities of efforts around building financial, physical, and social assets as a mental health policy priority.
