2/3 An impressive moment was when dr Tedros of WHO asked the people in the audience to stand if they knew a child/ young person in their own family who experiences or experienced a mental health issue. Most people stood up. He then asked who personally knew a child with MH condition. All stood up.

Today, I saw this mural in a school in Sofia, Bulgaria today. It was made by 18 refugee and host community artists, from 9 countries around Europe. Such community arts-based psychosocial support fosters social cohesion and integration. This made the school square a magical place!
