A high price has been paid by many children who&rsquo;ve missed out on time with friends and school, and many of the elderly have felt isolated. The challenges and solutions are well documented by the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/covidandsociety.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">International Public Policy Observatory on COVID.<\/a><\/p><p>But the crisis is also shining a light on the stresses faced by employees. In the UK,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ucl.ac.uk\/steapp\/news\/2021\/jan\/mental-health-intensive-care-staff-should-be-immediate-priority\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">new evidence on health workers<\/a>&nbsp;shows that nearly half of those working in intensive care units suffered from severe anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, or harmful use of alcohol. There may be similar patterns in other groups on the front-line, but we just don&rsquo;t know. And this is highlighting a bigger problem in how we look at mental health. It is nearly always seen as an individual issue requiring individual solutions. Yet in reality it&rsquo;s as much a problem for groups and organizations.<\/p><p><em>This is an excerpt from the article&nbsp;<\/em><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2021\/04\/your-mental-health-depends-on-collective-wellbeing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Here&rsquo;s how your mental health depends on collective wellbeing<\/a><\/strong>&nbsp;<em>by Geoff Mulgan.<\/em><\/p><div class=\"idron-article-in-content\" style=\"margin-bottom: 15px;\" id=\"idron-837608549\"><a href=\"https:\/\/idronline.org\/what-is-idr-answers\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"What is IDR Answers Page Banner\"><img src=\"https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-IDR-Answers-Page-Banner-1.png\" alt=\"What is IDR Answers Page Banner\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-IDR-Answers-Page-Banner-1.png 1250w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-IDR-Answers-Page-Banner-1-300x60.png 300w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-IDR-Answers-Page-Banner-1-1024x205.png 1024w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-IDR-Answers-Page-Banner-1-150x30.png 150w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/What-is-IDR-Answers-Page-Banner-1-768x154.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" width=\"1250\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div><p><em>This article is a part of a special series on the connection between inner well-being and social change, in partnership with&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/wellbeing-project.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Wellbeing Project<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/ssir.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Stanford Social Innovation Review<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.schwabfound.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Schwab Foundation<\/a>&nbsp;at the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">World Economic Forum<\/a>, and&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/skoll.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Skoll Foundation<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"idron-troublemakers-placement\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\" id=\"idron-2093174952\"><a href=\"https:\/\/idronline.org\/donate\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"donate banner\"><img src=\"https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Donate-banner-1.jpg\" alt=\"donate banner\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Donate-banner-1.jpg 1250w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Donate-banner-1-300x60.jpg 300w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Donate-banner-1-1024x205.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Donate-banner-1-150x30.jpg 150w, https:\/\/idronline.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/Donate-banner-1-768x154.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1250px) 100vw, 1250px\" width=\"1250\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":15592,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","categories":[36,9,582,35],"tags":[3605,141,496],"series":[],"meta-filter":[],"schema-filter":[743],"no-display":[],"class_list":["post-15590","feature","type-feature","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-covid-19","category-health","category-instagram","category-centred-self-the-wellbeing-series","tag-coronavirus","tag-mental-health","tag-well-being","contributor-world-economic-forum","schema-filter-article"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.3 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Individual mental health depends on collective well-being | IDR<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Our well-being depends on the groups we are part of and the COVID-19 crisis could play an important role in helping us recognise this.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/idronline.org\/features\/health\/individual-mental-health-depends-on-collective-well-being\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"kn_IN\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Individual mental health depends on collective well-being\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The COVID-19 crisis has seriously damaged mental health all over the world.
