About 1 in 7 people live with a mental health condition. Anxiety and depression are the most common. Recovery is never a solo journey. Family, loved ones and community make recovery possible. #MentalHealth systems should be built around that support. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Great to see this workshop take off following a year of online meetings with sickle cell disease patient support groups across Africa. Interesting discussions on a draft framework on how to equitably involve patients as partners in health research. Thanks for the support @SickleInAfrica, CERA ELSI
