Prospira Global

Today is Mental Health Action Day and we’re releasing our 2023 Social Impact Report to mark the occasion. Since 2012, we’ve been investing in women’s mental health and empowerment. We hope you’ll take a look at our annual report—and see exactly how we’re doing that. A few highlights from our latest report include: (1) We achieved (and exceeded) our goal of reaching 100,000 women and girls with direct access to mental health and empowerment resources through 20+ social impact partners globally, including Boris Lawrence Henson Foundation, Abahizi Rwanda, Isôoko Community Development , Black Girls Smile Inc., Girls Inc. of New York City, The Trevor Project, and more. We reached this goal two years early and are continuing to accelerate our efforts. (2) We donated $4.8 Million in impact dollars in 2023, bringing us to a total of $31 Million since 2012. (3) We launched our first body of research in partnership with Prospira Global to study the connection between women’s empowerment and mental health. There is much more detailed in the report, and still more work ahead.  To learn more, read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/esbY_HFn   Thank you to our teams and partners around the world for all you do to support this cause, and for being on this journey together.

Content influenced by a mental health intervention was more likely to show help-seeking activities like therapy or treatment for mental health conditions. Audiences were also more likely to be knowledgeable about mental health and interested in getting treatment.
