While there have been difficulties in many areas of mental health, the number of services, knowledge, and funding still falls far short of what is required.

We picture a world where everyone has access to the mental health services they require, where everyone has an equal chance to enjoy their mental health and to exercise their human rights. In order to do this, we must remove the stigma and discrimination associated with mental illnesses and encourage people to seek help. We must improve mental health services so that a network of domestically located, easily accessible, cost effective, and high-quality services can meet the whole range of mental health needs.

This is an opportunity for everyone to work together to advance this cause and speak up about what needs to be done to make everyone's mental health and well-being a global priority.

The international symbol of support for mental health awareness is the green ribbon.

ROAD TO MASTERS IN THE US

jhsph.edu ROAD TO MASTERS PROGRAM IN THE US The first thing is deciding where you want to further your education. For me, I believe the United States stands out for various reasons 1. Their institutions/universities are among the best in the world 2. Unlike institutions in the UK, you do not have to pay tuition upfront. In fact in my case, I had come to the US, started my program and was way into my program before payment was required to register for courses for next term. I only paid acceptance fee back in Nigeria. 3. There are scholarships available in most institutions, but they are quite competitive. Do due diligence and research on the institutions you are applying to. This is a link of available scholarships in some institutions. 4. In lieu of scholarships there are loans available which do not require a co-signer/guarantor like Prodigy finance and Mpower Depending on when you ar...

NORTH AMERICAN CYSTIC FIBROSIS CONFERENCE (NACFC) 2024

North American Cystic Fibrosis Conference (NACFC) 2024 Day 2 Yet another exciting day at NACFC! I started with an interactive session on some research procedures, which I found helpful for my recruiting work and the data's impact on the population. I learned a lot from the CFTR genetics session, which aligns with one of my research group's projects, and the plenary session on The Journey to Understand and Advance Research in CFRD. I wrapped up the day by networking with colleagues at Johns Hopkins Cystic Fibrosis Center #nacfc #nacfc2024 #cf #cysticfibrosis
