About the lecture:
During these unprecedented times it can be very daunting to know how best to look after ourselves and our loved ones. The pandemic has us all trying to ensure we look after our physical health. But what about our mental health?
Professor Anthony David, Director of the UCL Institute of Mental Health will speak to us about what we can learn from previous pandemics in terms of mental health and what we might expect from the current one.
