We all have mental health needs – and we all face challenges

Mental health impacts everyone, regardless of background or life path. However, the risk of facing mental health challenges is not the same for everyone. Our mental well-being is shaped not only by our biology but also by the circumstances we are born into, the environments we grow up in, and the conditions in which we live and age. For those facing significant social or economic hardships, the risks to mental health are particularly high. These disparities are what we refer to as mental health inequalities.

At Yuvanis Foundation, we are dedicated to tackling these inequalities head-on. Our work is guided by a clear understanding: addressing social disparities is crucial in reducing the prevalence of mental health issues. We see a pressing need for cross-sectoral action to advance mental wellbeing across our communities.
