She now leads the Hackett Center for Mental Health where she’s focused on access to care, early brain development, and what happens to women during times like menopause or postpartum.
We’ll learn what shaped her career and why she took risks to tackle gaps in women’s health.
We’ll talk about mental health challenges uniquely impacting women, from isolation to the cost and coverage of care.
We’ll hear how common sense can make a difference while we wait for research.
