The Mental Health Section of APHA partners across fields and professions to strengthen leadership in public health. We seek to: - Disseminate research, policies and practices that address the mental health, physical health, and well-being of diverse and vulnerable populations. - Offer opportunities for section members to network, build careers, and impact the public health of regional, state and national communities. - Promote fluency with the principles and strategies of population health. Support the use of traditional, mixed-methods, and community participatory research. - Advocate for effective and evidence-based interventions, programs, systems and policies, including strategies designed to address the stigma of mental health conditions
