Mental health has become an increasing focus of attention in the Kingdom since it is an essential part of public health. Mental health is no less important than physical health, and society still considers mental illnesses a negative stigma, offset by many misunderstandings and fear.
Mental illness is not a personal failure as some might think, and we need to change this culture and make it normal to talk about these topics in the Kingdom, so that we can take important steps forward as a society based on knowledge, dialogue and solidarity.
The Mental Health Initiative is a social and educational initiative focuses on the importance of mental health of individuals. The initiatives run by the Talga and supported by the Saudi Mental Health Promotion Center.
