About us

We are a team of 5 students on a mission to spread awareness and educate the public about the significance of mental health through our research investigation. We chose this medium to present our analysis as we think it is the most efficient as it is available to anyone, anywhere. This research based learning nourished our cooperative skills and allowed us to work with students of different abilities. It prepared us for similar projects upcoming in the future. The research investigation enabled us to implement a more empathetic perspective on the world and helped broaden our understanding on different initiatives taken by the world to promote good mental health.

In the current situation of the world, we learn that mental health contributes to a better lifestyle. Since it is an unconsidered topic, we have taken an initiative to spread awareness about it through our research. It is vital to elucidate regarding this topic in schools especially since young people are seriously affected by mental health issues every day. Providing world-class healthcare is one of the six pillars of the UAE National Agenda in line with Vision 2021. For the year 2016, the UAE Government had allocated 7.9 per cent of the budget amounting to approximately AED 3.83 billion for the health sector alone. In 2017, the UAE Government allocated 8.6 per cent of the federal budget to the health sector, which is in addition to the significant spending by the local emirates. According to the Sustainable Economic Development Assessment (SEDA) scores from the Boston Consulting Group (BCG), healthcare standards in the UAE outperform regional and worldwide averages on multiple dimensions such as wellbeing and education. (3.
