Mental Wellness Policy Toolkit

The Global Wellness Institute’s (GWI’s) research team will release another groundbreaking report: the Mental Wellness Policy Toolkit. Globally, rising rates of depression, anxiety, and loneliness are threatening our individual and societal wellbeing. Mental wellness represents a critical, but often overlooked resource to improve our collective resilience. The Mental Wellness Policy Toolkit shows communities, businesses and public policy makers why, and how, they should use targeted policies to promote mental wellness. Whether you want to focus on advocacy, awareness, specific programs, services, products, or research, this toolkit will help you to identify concrete actions to equitably address the most pressing challenges to people’s mental wellbeing.
