A Nova Campfire held in April 2022 explored the unprecedented global rise of mental health issues stemming from many interconnected and layered global factors. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, climate crises, social and political instability, and economic concerns pose serious threats to health, safety, and security. This conference report synthesizes discussion which sought to understand these challenges and propose ways to promote resilience and empower people and communities.
Contributors include Nova Scholar Susan Prescott, Fellow Jeff Greeson, and friend Dr. Mona El-Sherbini.
