National and International Leaders Address Mental Health Care Crisis and Explore Solutions at Austen Riggs Center Conference

Stockbridge, MA – August 15, 2019 – Increasing rates of suicide, depression, and PTSD, along with the opioid epidemic, underscore an unprecedented crisis in mental health care in the United States. This September, during a two-day international conference convened by the Austen Riggs Center, leading experts in the fields of mental health treatment, research, advocacy, and the law will present unique insights and solutions to these and other pressing issues. Presenters will challenge the status quo, which often uses a narrow biomedical lens to look at mental health problems and that prioritizes reimbursement for crisis stabilization over taking the critical time needed to address root causes of patient suffering.
