In many settings, digital technologies offer promising tools, and can strengthen mental health systems by providing ways to inform and educate the public, train and support health care workers, deliver remote care, and enable self-help (WHO, 2022b).

Having information about mental health and how to deal with one’s own mental health can be extremely useful to people experiencing psychological distress or living with a mental health condition.

WHO provides extensive online resources useful to inform and educate the public and some of the key topics include managing stress, dealing with depression and preventing suicide.

WHO alongside other institutions offer e-learning courses to train health care workers in various aspects of mental health care and delivering psychological interventions (WHO, 2022b).
