"When mental health is neglected, whether in the workplace or beyond, it does not remain contained. It ripples outward. It affects families, communities, and entire societies. We are seeing this in very real and troubling ways.
Unaddressed stress, trauma, and psychological distress can contribute to harmful coping mechanisms such as substance abuse. It can strain relationships, leading to conflict and, in some cases, gender-based violence.
Recent discussions in Fiji, including at our institution, have highlighted deeply concerning trends in sexual and reproductive health outcomes, reminding us that silence around mental health and wellbeing comes at a significant cost."
