The Role of Awareness in Mental Health Care

Title: From Awareness to Action: Building a Better Mental Health System

Content:
Between 2012 and 2018, public awareness campaigns significantly increased depression diagnoses, showing how education reduces stigma. However, our work now focuses on how telehealth can convert this awareness into actionable care for those in need.

Key Insight:
Depression diagnoses affected 33% of the population by 2018, yet post-pandemic telehealth adoption remains at only 27.7%. Bridging this gap requires targeted education and support strategies.

Call to Action:
Education is the first step, but implementation is the goal. If you’re working in public health, education, or digital health, let’s discuss how to drive meaningful engagement in mental health systems.
