Mental health and wellbeing — understanding, support, and tackling stigma

Globally, 1 in 7 (14.3%) of 10–19-year-olds experiences a mental health condition (WHO, 1 September 2025).

The guides

The guides start with Children's mental health — what families should know, including the first five years. Teen anxiety and low mood is awareness for parents and teachers, naming only, with no screening. Schools and wellbeing describes how schools support children, and Finding support for a child lists the official routes only, linking to the Wellbeing Support Directory. None of these pages screens, scores or triages any child.

More than 1 billion people worldwide live with a mental health condition — roughly 1 in 7 people globally (WHO, 11 September 2026).

The guides

Depression and anxiety awareness carries the figures: anxiety about 470 million people, depression about 322 million. Mental health at work covers the workplace — 16% of working-age adults, 12 billion working days lost a year, burn-out as an occupational phenomenon, and informal-economy workers. Suicide prevention awareness is WHO LIVE LIFE framing only — 746,000 deaths in 2023 — with no crisis content of its own; the Wellbeing Support Directory carries the crisis banner. Tackling stigma and asking for help extends the What is stigma? guide into mental health and visible skin conditions. None of these pages screens, scores or triages anyone.
