Join UC San Diego’s School of Biological Sciences for the next event in our Deep Look public speaker series. As we move into the holidays and the winter season, society continues to grapple with challenges to our mental health and wellbeing, from the lingering uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic, to an ongoing war, the climate crisis and the struggles of daily living. Long-ignored issues related to mental health have now come to the forefront of our collective consciousness and become less stigmatized. Join us as we explore the mental health crisis on college campuses, views from underserved communities and international perspectives on mental health.
