The horsemen of the apocalypse are why innovation is needed more than ever.
Immediately, this means providing resources for innovative projects that can find and develop solutions to the world’s challenges. It also means recognising the value of measuring and communicating impact, reducing obstacles to access, and advocating for funding and policy that puts health, mental and collective, at the top of the list.
In the long term, we need to continue to promote collaboration across sectors and break down traditional boundaries of working. We must focus efforts on scaling up innovative solutions, and investing in the development of a sustainable talent and resource pipeline built around wellbeing, and social and resource equity.
The price of inaction is too high and the urgency to act is greater than ever. Failure to make innovative investments in mental health solutions will lead to higher health costs, lower productivity, social breakdown, and further negative impacts accruing to the most vulnerable in our society.
Now it is more important then ever to catalyse capital for mental health and well-being solutions, and at Ember Innovations we are about to release our report "Catalysing Capital for Mental Health" to give practical pathways and solutions to those in Government, Private Investment and Communities who are ready to act.
