NEW YORK, August 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Medscape Education, the leading destination for continuing professional development for healthcare professionals, has launched Building bridges between mental health and wellness, a learning center focused on mental health and wellness for both patients and clinicians.
Guided by a steering committee of experts, Building bridges between mental health and wellness provides resources that explore the interconnectedness of mental and physical health.
“Mental health matters,” he said. Hansa Bhargava, MD, Medical Director, Medscape Education. “Mental health and wellness are intertwined.

Through accessible and engaging activities, we encourage clinicians to connect to the conversation about mental health and wellness to help eradicate stigma and address a growing and troubling problem.”
Building bridges between mental health and wellness takes an interprofessional approach, providing continuing education and resources in all therapeutic areas and conditions, including:
- Perspectives and interviews from health care experts
- Education for multiple specialties and members of the health team.
- Patient Education Resources
- Clinical tools, resources and references
An additional patient-focused resource center provides education and materials for patients and caregivers to manage their mental health and facilitate shared decision-making with their physicians.
Medscape Education collaborates with partners such as The Anxiety & Depression Association of America, The JED Foundation, and The National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) to bring important resources from these organizations to Medscape members. Patients and caregivers get similar access through WebMD Education.
