People living in cities around the world care about their mental health and the mental health of their fellow residents; they also know that urbanization - living amongst masses of people with its related stressors and burdens - can often be toxic to mental health and well-being.

As the process of urbanization accelerates around the world, the sheer scale of the mental health challenge cities face is ever more daunting.

The Thrive Collaboration offers a fresh and exciting public health approach to urban mental health, built on explicit principles for action that guide, anchor, and align work along the wide breadth of its vision.  Aligning with the priorities of the Community Plan, Edinburgh Poverty Commission, and the aspirations of the Regional Deal and City Vision 2050, Thrive Edinburgh offers an opportunity for the Capital City to not only reduce the toll of mental illness, but also promote and protect the citizens of Edinburgh’s mental health, resilience, self-esteem, family strength, and joy.
