Mental Health in Digital Age

In today’s hyperconnected world, digitalization is reshaping the way we live, learn, work, and interact. While technology offers many benefits, it also brings new mental health challenges such as online bullying, screen addiction, social comparison, exposure to harmful content, and privacy concerns.
Our program addresses these growing issues by providing education, resources, and support to help individuals—especially young people—build resilience and prioritize their mental well-being. Through the "Learn, Act, and Engage" model, volunteers receive expert training to tackle mental health challenges in schools, colleges, workplaces, and communities. Together, we are fostering a generation that values mental health and thrives in a digital world.

World Mental Health Day

mental health Logo

World Mental Health Day – falls on 10 October each year with different themes.

 

Health Volunteers is joining forces with partners to emphasize the crucial link between mental health and the workplace. Creating safe and supportive work environments can serve as a protective measure for mental well-being. Conversely, negative factors like stigma, discrimination, harassment, and poor working conditions can have serious repercussions on mental health, quality of life, and ultimately, workplace participation and productivity. With 60% of the global population employed, it is critical to take immediate steps to mitigate mental health risks and promote mental health support in the workplace.

 

It is important for employers, workers' organizations, and other stakeholders responsible for workplace health and safety to collaborate in improving mental health at work. Efforts should include meaningful participation from employees, their representatives, and individuals with personal experience of mental health challenges. By committing resources and implementing evidence-based practices in the workplace, we can create environments where everyone has the chance to thrive both professionally and personally. Let’s act now for a healthier, more supportive future.
