Articles & Reports

The subject of mental health is broad and complex. The variety of opinions, the different approaches, and the volume of conversations taking place speaks clearly to the growing importance of mental health within our society.

Here, we are sharing and linking to articles and posts where you can learn more. These pieces continue the dialogue needed to ensure we all work towards a common goal:  research-led, evidence-based services, interventions and treatments that can bring mental health services to the same level as physical health services.

If you come across an article or post that you think is relevant to this discussion, let us know at edippp@mmc.org.
