Despite working in the field of mental health for more than 15 years, June Gruber, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience at CU Boulder, felt unprepared for the wave of mental health challenges that would face our society in 2020. From COVID-19 and the devastating economic impacts of the pandemic to racial justice protests, widespread natural disasters, our current cultural moment presents unprecedented mental health concerns, and particularly for marginalized communities.

Gruber led a field-wide call to action for mental health research and treatment that resulted in a #TalkMentalIllness course. She interviewed over 30 experts from different domains in psychology research, practice, and popular public figures and to discuss the causes and cutting-edge treatments for many serious disorders, the stigma surrounding mental illness in our culture, systemic inequality in mental health treatment, and the mental health challenges of today.
