Scope of the Problem and Testing Evidence-Based Strategies: Part 1

This webinar will characterize the epidemiology of mental health symptoms in relation to economic stressors and describe an intervention to address mental health concerns among job-seeking individuals. Presenters will describe the complex relationship between unemployment and mental health concerns in the context of both past economic downturns and the current COVID-19 pandemic. The webinar will also provide information on a treatment protocol tailored to address mental health concerns in individuals seeking services in employment and training settings. The presenters will describe the underlying theory guiding their intervention strategies, as well as key individual and setting level characteristics that inform the use of a technology-assisted approach to increase intervention acceptability and reach.
