About Mental Health

Every year, the number of people experiencing disorders related to mental health is increasing. It is said that about one in five people in Japan will experience some form of mental health disorder during their lifetime. It is because anyone can be affected by mental health issues in the modern era that we must create a society in which people can live with peace of mind even if they develop a mental health disorder or similar issue. The Mental Health Project holds discussions with people affected by mental health disorders and other multi-stakeholders, conducts surveys and research, and issues policy recommendations with the goal of realizing evidence-based mental health policies.
