Mental Health Resource | Public Institutions

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.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the City of Toronto collaborated with 13 groups to connect residents to free telephone, text, and online mental health support.
On April 16, 2021, the City announced new collaborations with 18 additional groups to boost people' access to mental health resources.
