Tri-Valley Rep. Mark DeSaulnier (D-Concord) is hosting a virtual mental health town hall on the final day of Mental Health Month next Wednesday (May 31) at 1 p.m.

The discussion will center on mental health challenges across the country -- specifically addiction, social media, and technology -- with insight from Stanford professor Anna Lembke, who wrote the book "Dopamine Nation."

Lembke and DeSaulnier will both answer audience questions live.

Registration is available here.
