Excited that @UCSF leadership is funding "COPE 2.0 in an effort to prioritize and promote well-being, resilience and mental health resources for the UCSF population." Wise decision that will be amply repaid! @Dr_Epel @EFitelson ucsf.edu/news/2023/08/425941…

Want to reduce mass shootings at schools and colleges? Screening for mental illness is not the answer, because few shooters have a serious mental illness. What is the answer? Reducing access to guns. medscape.com/viewarticle/992… via @medscape

Im nowhere demonizing anti-depressants. I’m in support of them. I also think there is more going on here - many moms lack access to basic/safe housing, childcare, maternity leave, etc etc. We are leaving moms behind which definitely affects their mental health!

The "House of God" (Medicine) has come a long way & still has many miles ahead: “The culture is slowly growing to be more understanding...[but] medicine is not yet at a place where a pregnant person is fully accommodated.” @amy_gottlieb @BridgetBalch @AAMCtoday
Medical students across the country are calling for greater support for new parents, pushing for more comprehensive parental leave policies. As @CMangurian highlights, addressing the needs of caregivers is critical to cultivating a sustainable workforce. aamc.org/news-insights/medic…

U.S. maternal health crisis facts: 1⃣ The U.S. has the highest maternal mortality rate of any high-income country. 2⃣ More than 4 in 5 pregnancy-related deaths in the U.S. are preventable. 3⃣ There are stark racial and ethnic disparities in maternal health outcomes in the U.S.

In the post-Roe world, reproductive health autonomy is under threat; our @NEJM article explores the implications of the #Dobbs decision through an intersectional lens of structural racism, reproductive injustice & mental health.🧵1/5 nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…
