Here’s how your mental health depends on collective wellbeing
Geoff Mulgan
Mental health is nearly always seen as an individual issue requiring individual solutions. Yet in reality it’s as much a problem for groups and organizations. One legacy of the COVID-19 crisis could be a revolution in how we measure mental health and promote recognition that our wellbeing depends very much on the groups we are part of. This would also promote positives – and help us understand what makes groups thrive.
