Webinar on Increasing access in an unequal world

An hour-long webinar, organized by  Taskeen and Sehat Kahani was held on 15th October 2021 on behalf of PMHC titled Mental Health for all: Increasing access in an unequal world.

Lack of youth mental health services, as well as those specifically targeting underprivileged Pakistanis, creates a paradigm where Pakistanis struggle most with mental illnesses & are not able to receive the required services. In this unequal world, mental health issues, stigma, and services are unevenly divided between Pakistanis.

This webinar explored these areas in detail and discussed potential solutions to improve equity in mental health. Some of these proposed solutions included incorporating mental health care into Universal Healthcare programs being set up by the government as well as utilizing the large telecommunication penetration of Pakistan for mental healthcare.
