Key insights include:
💥9 in 10 people believe #mentalhealth is as important/more important than physical health
🤷♀️People aren't sure if science can help
🗣️🫂🌳People use a combination of different approaches to manage their mental health
We're really excited about supporting #mentalhealth science to rise to the challenge and demonstrate the incredible impact it can have in improving the lives of those with mental health problems. You can find out more about what we have planned here: wellcome.org/what-we-do/men…

I've been searching for the best thinking on how this pandemic could change the world for the better and these are six of the best articles I have read so far - all optimistic/realistic, smart, and imaginative. What have I missed?

2. Planning for the world after the Coronavirus pandemic by @alexevansu and @davidsteven. How truly global and collective action can help deal with the immediate impact of the pandemic and build a better and fairer world afterwards: worldpoliticsreview.com/articles/28611…
