Abstract: The Healthy Minds Network for Research on Adolescent and Young Adult Mental Health (HMN) is dedicated to improving the mental and emotional well-being of young people by addressing the connection between their mental health and their health behaviors, physical health, and social, educational, and economic outcomes. Taking a public health approach, HMN focuses on 3 main objectives: (1) producing knowledge (research), (2) distributing knowledge (dissemination), and (3) using knowledge (practice). HMN's webinars discuss research findings on topics including, approaches to improving campus mental health, supporting student athletes, interventions to promote healthy sleeping habits, the intersection of mental health and academic success, and many more.
