National-led Mental Health Initiative

With the National-led APAMSA Mental Health Initiative, we hope to do the following:

Talk about it…all the time.

By talking about it, we break through the silence about mental health acknowledge that our current silent state cannot be an option. By talking about it, we acknowledge that no one is alone in this struggle. By talking about it, we emphasize that this is important. Mental health matters.

Make it personal.

We want to create spaces for people to talk about mental health – to share their own narratives and their own stories. In doing so, we hope to highlight that no one is alone.

Share resources.

While talking about mental health is important, action is equally important. We want to share ways to get the conversation about mental health going and ways to talk about mental health. We also want to share ways everyone can lead mentally and emotionally healthier lives.
