The Dubai Health Authority (DHA) has launched a new Mental Wealth Framework with an investment of Dhs105 million, aimed at improving mental health and wellbeing for the city’s residents. This initiative, announced under the leadership of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, seeks to establish a comprehensive approach to mental health care.
The framework focuses on integrating mental health services across various sectors, including healthcare, education, and community support. It aims to provide accessible resources and support for individuals experiencing mental health challenges. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to enhance the quality of life for residents and promote a culture of mental wellbeing in Dubai.
DHA plans to implement several key components within the framework, including training programs for healthcare professionals, community outreach initiatives, and partnerships with educational institutions to raise awareness about mental health issues. These efforts are intended to reduce stigma and encourage individuals to seek help when needed.
In addition to direct support services, the framework will also focus on preventive measures by promoting mental health education and awareness campaigns. The goal is to foster resilience and coping strategies among residents, particularly among vulnerable populations such as children and adolescents.
As part of this initiative, the DHA will monitor the effectiveness of the framework through regular assessments and feedback from the community. This data will inform future enhancements and ensure that the mental health services provided meet the needs of the population.
By investing in this Mental Wealth Framework, Dubai is taking a proactive step towards addressing mental health issues, aiming to create a supportive environment that prioritizes the mental wellbeing of its residents.
