Mental health experts and advocates from Bhutan and across the world are gathering in Thimphu tomorrow for the Third PEMA Symposium on Mental Health.

Under the Royal Stewardship of Her Majesty The Gyaltsuen, the Symposium will bring together leading voices from WHO, UNICEF, JDWNRH, MoESD, and more to share evidence, insights, and best practices.

This year’s theme — “Empowering Young Minds, Building Futures” — calls for investing in the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents.
