Mental illness and disorders are a daunting public health challenge. 

We need to gain more knowledge on how to prevent mental disorders and how to treat and care for mental illness sufferers in the best possible way.

We know that settings such as preschools, schools, prisons, workplaces and local environments are potential sources of strain, where people are at risk of developing a mental disorder. This makes it important to prioritise measures and heighten awareness of how to promote good mental health in these settings.

Good quality of life depends on good physical and mental health. We want to be instrumental in developing mental health knowledge and expertise and we want to help implement this knowledge in the health service and society.
