UNICEF East Asia and Pacific’s Post

1 of 7 adolescents (aged 10–19) live with a mental disorder—yet governments allocate just 2% of health budgets to mental health worldwide. These are young lives affected silently, every day. For businesses, investors, and partners, this isn’t just a social issue—it’s an economic one. Every child and young person supported today builds a resilient community, a stronger workforce, and a healthier future. UNICEF is calling for:  ▪️ Greater investment in mental health programs for children and adolescents  ▪️ Cross-sector collaboration to scale solutions  ▪️ Innovative approaches to leave no child behind #OnMyMind  Ruth O'Connell Myo-Zin Nyunt June Kunugi UNICEF
