“We are declaring mental well-being as a crucial social agenda that Thai PBS will actively drive forward in collaboration with all sectors. This issue has become an escalating threat to society, as evidenced by the rising suicide rates among Thais and the increasing levels of conflict and violence in various aspects of our society.
We must stand up and take action in addressing depression and mental health challenges, ensuring that Thai society is equipped with knowledge, empathy, and essential life skills to foster understanding and coexistence. Thai PBS aims to serve as a social support network for all groups, providing a safety net for those struggling with mental health issues. Our goal is to raise awareness, reshape perspectives, and foster a society that supports one another—one where we share both joy and hardship together.
Thus, our focus on mental well-being is not just about diseases or medical treatments; it is about proactive preparedness for the future. It is about restoring resilience within communities and families and, most importantly, leveraging Thai PBS’s strength to push this issue onto the public policy agenda—making mental well-being a collective responsibility of society.”
