On Wednesday December 9, 2020, Alan Hu Foundation was honored and privileged to present a webinar by Steven Adelsheim, MD, clinical professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Director of Stanford Psychiatry’s Center for Youth Mental Health and Wellbeing.
The webinar focused on Dr. Adelsheim’s work developing and implementing early detection/intervention programs for young people in school-based and primary care settings. These include programs for depression, anxiety, prodromal symptoms of psychosis, and first episodes of psychosis. Dr. Adelsheim discussed the use of media to reduce stigma surrounding mental health issues, and his effort to bring Australia’s effective “headspace” model of mental health early intervention for young people ages 12 – 25 to the United States with Stanford Medicine’s innovative program known as allcove.
We were honored to have many webinars guests joined us across the country as well as from Australia, Canada, China, Indonesia, Singapore, and Taiwan.
