REACT! Mental Health 03 PDF (75 KB)
In 2021, WFMH stated that the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic might last longer than the pandemic itself. The rate of people experiencing mental health problems is increasing globally, and those experiencing mental illness may not be getting the care they need.
The WFMH stated that 75% of people from high-income countries who suffer from depression had not received adequate care, and 75% of people from low- and middle-income countries with mental health conditions have received no treatment.
In recognition of the global-themed Mental Health Awareness Campaign this week, a new poster has been added to the Club's REACT! series of medical and first-aid posters.
The new poster is an addition to strengthening those within the series, specifically addressing mental health to raise awareness and its importance among crews onboard.
