" Mental health is an integral component of health and well-being that underpins our individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships and shape the world we live in.Reshaping the determinants of mental health often requires action beyond the health sector and so promotion and prevention programmes should involve the education, labour, justice etc. Millennium Fellowship provides a wide range of dedicated ,problem solving, innovative minds which would make collaborations easy and solution creation possible to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 3. I believe in a better world and together, we'll achieve this. "
