Stigma Free UC Presents: Mass Shootings and the Mental Health System

After mass shootings, there is often public discussion about the relationship between mental illness and violence, and outcry that the mental health system does not do more to stop these events.  On Tuesday, April 24, Amy Barnhorst, the medical director of a county crisis unit will discuss the ways in which this response risks both increasing stigma against people with mental illness and drawing the focus away from other groups of people at higher risk of violence.

All UC faculty, staff and students are invited to attend this webinar, sponsored by the Systemwide WellBeing Initiative, on Tuesday, April 24, from 1-2pm.  To view the slideshow online, click here.
