Global Brain Data Foundation
The Global Brain Data Foundation is proud to be a supporting partner of World Mental Health Day.
At the center of each and every one of our experiences is our mental health. And, like physical health, our mental health is critical to our happiness and felt sense of success and wellbeing in the world.
The Covid-19 global pandemic has revealed the extent to which depression, anxiety, and other mental ills – both common and uncommon – lurk within so many of us and our fellow humans. It’s time to use this knowledge and the intense pain we see and feel all around us, to recognize the pressing need for both inspired individual acts of love and a coordinated global effort to safeguard and uplift the mental health of our entire global community.
While scalable solutions to ensuring a planet of mental health and wellness is at the heart of the Global Brain Data Foundation’s actions every day, we are honored to join the incredibly important efforts of the World Health Organization, United for Global Mental Health, and the World Federation for Mental Health in trumpeting the importance of this critical topic.
Whether you are involved with any larger mental health efforts or not, you can do your part today or any time this week to play an important role simply by being kind to others. Kindness is a superpower on World Mental Health Day.
