Abstract

The year 2020 brought the United States devastating natural disasters, civil unrest in the face of racial injustices, and a highly contested presidential election. All of this was in the midst of a global pandemic that demanded state-wide shelter-in-place mandates as well as mask and social distancing requirements, that left many unemployed either temporarily or permanently, that required parents to learn how to aid their children’s education as schools were shut down in droves, and that left the nation with new concerns, new stressors, and new worries about both the physical and mental health of its people. So, when the book, Communicating Mental Health: History, Contexts, and Perspectives (CMH), edited by Lance R. Lippert, Robert D. Hall, Aimee E. Miller-Ott, and Daniel Cochece Davis crossed my desk, it seemed more timely and more important than ever.
