Rates of mental health problems in indigenous communities are systematically increasing worldwide. Among the most common problems are high rates of suicide and psychoactive substance use among indigenous youth. These problems, coupled with numerous unfavorable social determinants, generate high psychosocial vulnerability for these communities. Despite these circumstances, they are very unlikely to have access to adequate mental health services.

Yes but make sure that it is implemented and that the right professionals are given the money to implement the services.

Yes, as they can help spread awareness about different health initiatives and create an informed populace, and help a lot of prevention and open up a larger discussion.
@9G7KWZY1yr1Y
Yes, but fund the 1:1 psychotherapeutic approaches for low and middle income families and individuals.
@9F5KMPV1yr1Y
Spend more money on mental health resources and programs.
@9F4F77Y1yr1Y
The government doesn't need more funding for it. They need to make more laws to support the mental health of people.
@9F3YN581yr1Y
Yes, and increase funding for research into treatment options, like more effective and safer medications with fewer side effects.
@9D67PGL1yr1Y
Mental health is obviously important, but it takes more than just funding for these initiatives. On paper, I can understand that some services suffer from a lack of funds, but it is all about how effective these services are. At that point, we can determine funding.

We have alot of better stuff to do right now than this and alot of people are getting help as it is, so may it as a necessity at least, sure.
