The S20 Brazilian Mental Health Report

The Brazilian Academy of Sciences commissioned a report on mental health to develop strategies for addressing mental health challenges in the post-pandemic world. These strategies should be evidence-based, culturally sensitive, resource-efficient, and promote equity, while being tailored to specific contexts. The report's proposals are meant for discussion among S20 participating Academies of Sciences, serving as a collection of ideas to influence global mental health policies, rather than mandatory guidelines. Key points raised by the expert task force are highlighted for consideration.
