後疫情的心理健康政策:社會韌性之評估與觀察

新冠疫情大爆發不僅改變了全球醫療衛生體系,社會及經濟也飽受影響,社會在受挫後的復原力和韌性也成為研究焦點。此研究著重在疫情後亞太地區政府如何著手解決民眾的心理健康問題,並討論比較其中的最佳案例及未來應用的可能性。

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused upheaval in not only healthcare but also social and economic systems, turning attention to the resilience of societies, economies, and individuals. At least partly because of prolonged lockdowns, interruptions in work and schooling, and economic turbulence over the last three years, the pandemic has resulted in a mental health crisis. In the Asia-Pacific region, mental health remains understudied and underemphasized in public policy. As one of the world’s fastest developing regions, the Asia Pacific requires robust mental health governance to ensure that populations are economically secure, experience personal fulfillment, and thrive in their communities. What economic, social, and cultural factors contribute to mental wellness in the region? How can policymakers work with experts and communities to ensure that economic and health recovery from the pandemic includes mental health and well-being?
