March 24: Addressing Mental Health

CoVID-19 accelerated the mental health crisis. Compared to 2019, last year the CDC tracked 3x more anxiety and 4x more depression. During the pandemic, 48% of US consumer households with dependents under 18 experienced anxiety or depression. An additional 75,000 US "Deaths of Despair"(suicide, drug / alcohol abuse) are expected. How can technology and innovation meet the moment?
