Foundations for Change in Mental Health in the Americas - a series of webinars

All over the world, mental health needs are high, but responses are insufficient and inadequate. The unmet mental health needs in the Region of the Americas are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, deeply impacting the health, social, and economic well-being of affected individuals, as well as their families, friends, and communities. Individuals with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities often face barriers to accessing services that uphold their rights and dignity. Moreover, they are subjected to adverse conditions, violence, and discrimination, including those from marginalized ethnic groups such as indigenous peoples or Afro-descendants.
