"Don't worry" National campaign for mental support

This compendium, prepared by the Division for Public Institutions and Digital Government (DPIDG) of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), aims to capture emerging trends in digital responses of UN Member States against the COVID-19 pandemic along with other digital government initiatives and provide a preliminary analysis of their main features. These cases are shared for exchange of information so that Member States can learn from each other and possibly create new partnerships.

The UAE’s National Programme for Happiness and Wellbeing (NPHW) has launched a nationwide campaign to offer free online mental health support for all UAE residents coping with the adverse psychological effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. More than 50 experts in the fields of psychology, mental and social support, and life skills are participating in the initiative.
