Striving to improve public mental health

United in sustainable development goals

Outstanding researchers from Arizona State University, King’s College London and UNSW Sydney collaborate to pursue solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges, guided in part by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The PluS Alliance focuses primarily on four key themes, all with alignment to the UN SDGs.

Key themes

Sustainability

research balances the need to innovate and progress as a global society while respecting the limits of the world’s natural resources.

Global health

research addresses persistent and emerging health issues for individuals and their communities.

Social justice

research defines and reduces societal roadblocks in pursuit of a peaceful and prosperous coexistence.

Technology and innovation

research expands technological and scientific breakthroughs for the well-being of the global society.

Current priority areas

Mental health

Mental health problems affect one in four people in any given year. Our researchers are working to improve global outcomes.

Addictions

Addressing the global challenge of illicit and prescription drug abuse is part of a push to improve and save lives.

Veterans
