Mental health is one of the most widespread, impactable, yet neglected global health issues of our time. Even knowing mental health conditions are generally under-reported and/ or misrepresented, evidence still shows widespread effects of mental wellbeing on physical health, life satisfaction, and productivity, however it has still not taken off as a major cause area in many EA organizations I have talked to. Why is this? 

Hello! My name is Madeleine Foley and I have apent my career in healthcare in the US. I became interested in EA several months ago and am now working on making a high impact career pivot! I just finished the CEA Career Pivot Bootcamp and am currently participating in an Effective Global Mental Health Fellowship. I have met some great folks along the way and excited to further my engagement with the community in this forum.
