NAMI Ask the Expert – A Vision for the Failing Mental Health System
NAMI Ask the Expert Webinar welcomes Dr. Tom Insel, former Director of NIMH and co-founder of Mindstrong Health, whose work in psychiatry and neuroscience has made him a national leader in mental health research, policy and technology.
In his presentation, Dr. Insel will share what he has learned on his journey overseeing research on mental health and observing how current systems have failed people with serious mental illness — including his finding that while the problem is medical, the solutions are social, environmental, and political. Ultimately, Dr. Insel will explain his vision for solutions to the mental health crisis and bring home to families looking to the future.
After the presentation, NAMI’s Chief Medical Officer Dr. Ken Duckworth will moderate a Q&A session. This session will be recorded and posted to our website in the days following the webinar. All registrants for this webinar will automatically receive a link by email to view the recorded session once it is available. A typed transcription of the audio will also be available online within one week of the webinar.
