LIVE: Addressing Access Disparities In Mental Health Care | Clinton Global 2024 | Leaders Stage
LIVE from the mainstage of #CGI2024
There is an urgent global mental health crisis. An estimated 1 billion people live with mental health, neurological, and substance use disorders globally, according to Boehringer Ingelheim – but 70 percent don’t have access to the care they need. While mental health challenges have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and rising diagnoses of anxiety and depressive disorders, we know that access to quality treatment and support is the antidote. By prioritizing research funding, tech-based solutions, and innovative community-based approaches, we are beginning to see substantial progress in expanding mental health care access and improved global health outcomes. This session will examine what’s working to increase access to care and educate communities on mental health.
