“Poverty and Mental Illness"

with Amy Zulich and Donita Diamata

 

In this webinar, we will examine the impact poverty has on mental health and well-being. We will examine the prevalence of poverty within the mental health consumer community and the complacency we have as a society and within the mental health system that people diagnosed with mental health issues are generally poor. This issue is part of a greater, on-going conversation intended to prompt change in the mental health system and create supports that help mental health consumers to ultimately move out of poverty. We invite participants to give feedback and ideas for change so the legacy of poverty within our mental health community can begin to dissolve.
