During the discussion, they’ll explore which elements are needed to design digital solutions capable of eliminating discrimination, so that — a) people no longer judge others dealing with mental health challenges (but rather listen and support them), and b) individuals are empowered to talk openly about their mental health.

  • Which digital approaches are showing the most promise for reducing discrimination.
