Youth mental health highlighted at World Health Summit in New Delhi
The Business Guardian
|April 28, 2025
A high-impact panel discussion on "Strengthening Mental Health Systems for Youth: Prevention, Support, and Policy Action" was held today at the World Health Summit Regional Meeting at Bharat Mandapam, Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
Organized by ETI Services and the Policymaker's Forum on Mental Health, the session brought together parliamentarians, mental health professionals, policy advocates, and youth leaders to chart a roadmap for more inclusive, accessible, and youth-led mental health systems in India.
Opening the session, Dr. Dalbir Singh, President of the Policymaker's Forum for Mental Health, emphasized that, "The alarming rise in mental health conditions among young people is a reflection of the rapidly changing, often overwhelming nature of the world today -- we must act now, because the youth are not just the future of this country, they are its present, and their well-being is our collective responsibility."
The panel addressed critical gaps in India's mental health system, particularly in institutions of higher education, and stressed the need for early intervention, community-based support models, and inclusive approaches that center the voices of young people.
