Prioritizing Mental Health within the Sustainable Development Goals
Description
To address the global challenges that we face such as poverty, natural disasters, and conflicts, in a way that leaves no one behind, we need to prioritize mental health. Poor mental health and insufficient resources for mental health pose a challenge to our individual and collective capacities to work towards achieving the sustainable development goals.
We explore this issue further with our two guests relating to their work, our first guest Ambassador Freddy Wangabo Mwenengabo, Executive Director of the East and Central African Association for Indigenous Rights (ECAAIR) to discuss the need for a global prioritization on mental health, the inequities posed in the area to marginalized community and the work of the ECAAIR in their interventions at addressing mental health.
