George Slavich, PhD | Mental Healthcare Innovations Summit 2023

Dr. George Slavich is a leading authority in the conceptualization, assessment, and management of life stress; in psychological and biological mechanisms linking stress with mental and physical health; and in systems and policies for reducing population-level health disparities and achieving greater health equity by addressing stress-related factors at the individual and collective level. His recent research focuses on Social Safety Theory, which describes how individual- and community-level experiences of social safety and threat influence the brain and immune system to affect human health, wellbeing, aging, and behavior across the lifespan. This translational work on the psychoneuroimmunology of stress, health, and resilience has been published in leading journals including Nature Medicine, Nature Communications, JAMA Psychiatry, Molecular Psychiatry, PNAS, Psychological Bulletin, and the Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, among others. The Mental Healthcare Innovations Summit at Stanford Medicine brings together creators and action-oriented leaders across research, policy, government, funding, and mental health advocacy to build a cross-sector community and drive forward the powerful existing and emerging innovations in mental health to collectively reimagine what it is like to give and receive mental healthcare.
