About the Webinar: 

 

The 2022 Digital Mental Health International Congress fostered collaboration between countries to transform mental healthcare and bring the digital mental health ecosystem to life, and we’re thrilled to share the progress made in achieving this goal.

 

We dive into the key discussion points from the Congress and explore what’s happening right now to integrate digital technologies into national systems of care. We also tackle the ongoing issue of mental health discrimination and stigma, discussing how global collaborations and initiatives are addressing this critical issue. And we explore exciting new collaborations that are currently underway, helping to strengthen global best practices and meet the UN Sustainability Goals.
