Read moreThe Countdown for Global Mental Health 2030 Dashboard is an interactive data platform designed to support accountability and action towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It brings together key mental health indicators in one place, enabling policymakers, funders and other stakeholders to better understand needs and mental health determinants, shape national policies and prioritise action. It is structured around four core components of the Countdown framework:
- Determinants of mental health (e.g. family, economy, education, conflict, environment, COVID-19)
- Factors shaping the demand for care (e.g. suicide rates, alcohol consumption, prevalence of mental health disorders)
- Factors shaping the strength of mental health systems (e.g. capacity, resources, service provision)
- Mental health and wellbeing (e.g. Happiness Ladder Score)
Developed through a multi-partner collaboration including UNICEF, the World Health Organization, Harvard Global Mental Health, the Global Mental Health Peer Network, and United for Global Mental Health (an IAMHRF partner), the dashboard responds to the growing need for reliable, comparable data on mental health burden, systems and access.
