Global mental health
For the right to mental health for all – worldwide
1 in 7 people worldwide suffer from mental health problems. Among children and young people, the figure is 1 in 5. Although there are effective treatments for mental health problems, many lack access to care. Stigma and ignorance lead to discrimination and violations of human rights.
It is time for a change!
