| | At the McKinsey Health Institute, we believe health is everyone’s business. As the year comes to a close, we are taking a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made together toward advancing human health globally. In 2023, we continued to grow our ecosystem of collaborations, launching new commitments to action with our partners on equitable access to mental healthcare and disability inclusion in healthcare, and scaling impact on crisis response, trauma training, and more. We also continued to invest in research, publishing insights on high-priority topics, including brain health, employee health, healthy aging, and health equity. During global moments like the World Health Assembly, the UN General Assembly, and COP28, we convened with leaders across sectors for action-oriented discussions on key topics, including health in cities, scaling mental health innovation, climate and health, and improving the lives of older people globally. MHI leaders around the world spoke at more than 50 events, including Founders Forum, One Young World, and AmCham Healthcare. In 2024, MHI is taking its global portfolio local. In partnership with a diverse and broad coalition of stakeholders, we strive to drive health in cities worldwide. Watch this space — early in 2024 we will share our perspective on why cities are so critical to address health, including healthy longevity, brain health, and healthy equity. All of this is possible because of the support of our champions: people like you who want to see a world where all people can live long, healthy, and fulfilling lives. We look forward to working with you in 2024 and welcome your feedback and ideas as we continue to advance on our mission to help humanity add six high-quality years of life for every person. Yours in health,
The MHI team | | Collaboration spotlight | | Kokoro We are collaborating with Kokoro to convene and activate cross-sectoral leaders to scale mental health innovation through novel public-private-social partnerships and outcomes-based models of financing. In 2023, MHI co-hosted events with Kokoro alongside the World Health Assembly and the UN General Assembly, joined Kokoro’s Future Mental Health Collective, and co-published a whitepaper on Financing Mental Health Innovation, engaging hundreds of experts, advocates, and funders across continents to discuss the path forward in financing mental health, with a growing number of commitments being made. Learn more about our collaboration with Kokoro. |
| Strong Resilient Youth We collaborated with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center to develop Strong Resilient Youth, a free, interactive digital curriculum to upskill educators and supportive adults in identifying and supporting youth exposed to trauma. As of 2023, more than 2,500 individuals have completed the training, reaching more than 52,000 youth. We also partnered with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing to offer the training to its Teen and Youth Mental Health First Aid Instructors, and with Society for All to deploy the training in the Czech Republic. The training is available in English, Spanish, Czech, and Ukrainian, and anyone can self-register to take the course at their own pace. Learn more about Strong Resilient Youth. | Business in the Community We collaborated with Business in the Community (BITC) to co-publish a milestone report on workplace well-being, entitled Prioritize People: unlock the value of a thriving workforce. The report, published in April 2023, demonstrates the compelling business case for putting employees at the heart of business strategy and was BITC’s most read report of the year. It also lead to 26 companies signing the BITC “Work well commitment”, with those companies representing more than 200,000 employees in the United Kingdom. MHI continues to actively collaborate with BITC on thought leadership on employee health and well-being. Learn more about our collaboration with BITC. |
