Our health is everything. Yet 400 million people in the world can’t afford or don’t have access to basic health care. We believe good health care is everyone’s right...including mental health!
Disease results in misery, pain, and poverty for millions of people worldwide. That’s why treating and preventing disease is so important to us. We lead efforts both large and small. We connect you with projects in underserved communities struggling with mental health care access happening in all parts of our world. We support community workers, peer leaders, clinicians, doctors, families, schools, workplaces, and governments working together to improve lives.
Under this Area of Focus, other Rotarians combat diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, polio while our Rotarian Action Group focuses on Mental Health. Prevention is important, which is why we also focus on mental health education and bringing people routine screenings.
