Mental health is often overlooked and neglected. And, while the conversation around mental health has developed over the years, it is still a taboo in many countries and is often viewed as a secondary issue. However, the onset of COVID-19 has forced us to reckon with the consequences of ignoring the subject as we grapple with the impact that the pandemic has had on those silently struggling with their mental health.
In this episode, Dr. Hannah Sugarman of Mind HK, Sean Mayberry of StrongMinds and Janis Whitlock of The JED Foundation discuss how COVID-19 has reshaped how societies view mental health across geographies and how the inclusion of mental health and wellbeing in the Sustainable Development Goals is finally allowing mental diseases to receive the attention that they deserve.

StrongMinds is a social enterprise founded in 2013 that provides life-changing mental health services to impoverished African women. Since many African women cannot even begin to tackle issues like poverty and economic development until they overcome depression, StrongMinds provides treatment for women who suffer from this pervasive and debilitating mental illness. By providing group talk therapy delivered by community health workers, StrongMinds is the only organization scaling a cost-effective solution to the depression epidemic in Africa.
