The Future of Mental Health and Wellness
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy and all six of his living predecessors joined Dartmouth President Sian Leah Beilock for a panel discussion seeking solutions to the national mental health crisis. The moderated conversation discussed the Future of Mental Health and Wellness Sept. 28.
“Nationwide, mental health is an urgent challenge that health care professionals, educators, and leaders at every level must address head-on,” says President Beilock, who has made the goal of improving the mental health and wellness of the community a priority for her administration. “As institutional leaders, researchers, doctors, and thinkers, we in higher education have an imperative to go beyond bestowing knowledge—we have a responsibility to identify and address root causes of the crisis while also providing young people with the tools they need to feel healthy and connected.”
Talking about the mental health crisis with the surgeons general, who have played critical roles in addressing major health issues such as smoking, AIDS, and opioids, is intended to help bring a more national focus to the problem.
Murthy issued a 53-page advisory on youth mental health (PDF) in 2021, saying, “Mental health challenges in children, adolescents, and young adults are real and widespread. But most importantly, they are treatable and often preventable.”
