It’s been a busy few months since our last newsletter celebrating MHI’s one year anniversary. With global health and development season underway, we’re checking in to share an update on our work since April.
In May, we made our World Health Assembly debut in Geneva, where we co-convened events with Devex, Kokoro, Grand Challenges Canada, and the Health Innovation Exchange exploring how to improve the lives of older people globally, rapidly scale global mental health innovation, and accelerate innovation in global health. In collaboration with One Young World and Orygen, we talked to youth mental health leaders from around the world about their perception of social media and technology’s impact on Gen Z’s mental health. We marked one year since the national roll-out of the 988 crisis and suicide hotline, which has received more than 5 million calls, texts, and chats to date. Last month, MHI returned to the UN General Assembly with an agenda to drive action toward addressing mental health at global scale, increasing accessibility and quality of care for people living with disabilities, health in cities, and more. On the main stage at the Clinton Global Initiative 2023 Meeting, we joined the Missing Billing Initiative and fellow partners in launching a commitment to action around accelerating disability inclusion in health systems worldwide — read more about it below. Next week, we’ll be celebrating World Mental Health Day on October 10th with MHI leaders including Global Leader Erica Coe, Director of Brain Health Kana Enomoto, and Employee Health Co-Leader Barbara Jeffery and Jacqui Brassey joining mental health-focused events around the globe throughout the month. You can find us at the Global Mental Health Summit, the This Can Happen conference, the United Nations World Mental Health Day webinar, and more. Will we see you there? Drop us a line and let us know! Yours in health, The MHI team |

See below for our recent reports and interviews. Coming soon: New research from our 2023 global Employee Health survey will explore the role employers play in creating positive work environments. We will also take a deeper dive on learnings from the global Healthy Aging survey exploring how society can help unlock opportunities for older adults to live healthier lives and explore the significant positive economic effects this can have.
