Mental Health & Wellbeing
The challenge
Mental health is one of the greatest societal challenges of our time. Rising rates of mental illness, particularly among young people, combined with global disparities in care and treatment, require innovative and comprehensive solutions. Mental health impacts everything from individual well-being to economic stability, demanding a multifaceted approach that addresses prevention and early intervention.
