RATIONALE
Most families were affected by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It has a
disproportionately negative impact on mental health. Some people are afraid of getting sick,
losing love ones, having financial difficulties, and being isolated from love ones and supporting
groups. All of these factors combine to create a perfect storm of stress, anxiety, and other
negative emotions. The battle takes place within. Mental health issues can be difficult to identify
and even difficult to discuss. We live in turbulent times and compacted by the COVID-19
pandemic, the issue of mental health is not only relevant but crucial. Mental health is more than
the presence or absence of a mental illness. It is a crossroad between emotional, psychological,
and physical well-being. This past two years, many people have faced serious challenges to their
mental health. Along with the health impacts of the disease, COVID-19 has led to, self and social
isolation, disconnection from family and friends, quarantine and lockdowns on movement
resulting in more people than ever experiencing feelings of helplessness, isolation, grief, anxiety
and depression. Demand for health support services has increased exponentially as a result. To
address these challenges and increase the capacity and availability of support, governments, local
communities and civic organisations need to increase the resources directed towards addressing
psychological suffering, now and after the pandemic has passed. Many people around the world
have responded to the pandemic through technology, and leaning on each other, to bridge
disconnection and improve mental health. We are all human beings. In the face of the unknown,
personal connection is what matters. This challenge with mental health is that it is often hidden
and you may not know who is struggling. Please take the opportunity to reach out to family,
friends, colleagues and even strangers and see how they are. Together, we can strengthen our
community safety net and ensure no one is left behind. By pulling together, unified by our strong
sense of solidarity, we can get through this together. We are committed to creating a world in
which everyone, everywhere, has someone to turn to for psychological support. As the world
recovers, we need to continue to advocate for mental health and wellbeing and ensure it is
included in universal health coverage.
