Webinar: Mental Health and City Life – Depression: The Hidden Illness

City life moves fast. Behind productivity, packed schedules and crowded streets, depression often goes unnoticed. As urbanisation accelerates globally, how can communities, healthcare systems and individuals better recognise and respond to hidden mental health struggles?
We are honoured to feature distinguished speakers:
 
• Professor Norman Sartorius — Former Director of Mental Health at the World Health Organization
Urbanisation and Mental Health: A public health perspective on risk and protective factors in rapidly growing cities.
 
• Associate Professor Shefaly Shorey
Mental Health and Pregnancy + Psychological First Aid (BIPT): Supporting individuals in distress with empathy and practical strategies.
 
• Dr Tina Tan
Depression in Youth and Seniors: Early signs, age-specific presentations and why timely recognition matters.
