Mission and objectives

UNICEF’s innovation portfolio approach focuses our innovation efforts on the most challenging problems UNICEF is trying to solve for and with children and young people. Children, adolescents and their families face barriers to availability, acceptability, and accessibility of quality mental health and psychosocial support services. The lack of availability of services is significant with a current gap in the provision of mental health care of over 90% globally. Even with available services, quality remains a concern with a dearth of trained workforce and few systematic training and career development opportunities in the countries with the greatest need. Mental health is a global issue, yet it remains stigmatized in almost every country, rich or poor; contributing to (1) acceptability challenges (2) decrease in levels of demand for and use of mental health care services, and (3) limitations in developing creative ways to promote positive mental health and increase awareness. Access to available care can be very challenging in rural areas, for children and families on the move or emergency contexts such as conflict, natural disaster, and displacement. Portfolios focus on specific programmatic challenges and will include a blend of different types of innovation, depending on the nature of the problems that are being addressed.

Context

While children may have been largely spared the worst physical effects of COVID-19, it has still upended their lives, and had a significant impact on their mental health and psychosocial well-being. Both the direct and indirect effects of COVID-19, historical underinvestment in mental health, and lessons learned from previous crises combine to indicate continued negative impacts on child and adolescent mental health and psychosocial wellbeing for years to come. This presentation will help support efforts to advocate for UNICEF’s Global MHPS Wellbeing Innovation Portfolio strategy, identify & scale innovative MHPS & wellbeing inventive approaches - within & across identified regions & countries
