FLAD joins Mental, the Observador's new mental health project

After the results achieved with Labyrinth – Mental Health Interviews, the Luso-American Development Foundation (FLAD) is joining up with Mental, the new project dedicated exclusively to Mental Health that Observador newspaper launched this Monday, March 6.

More than a year after the first interview, Labirinto took us to Mental, an innovative project exclusively dedicated to Mental Health, in partnership with FLAD and Hospital da Luz. Aware of the impact that Labirinto has had on the lives of many people, FLAD believes that Mental, with the support of the Portuguese Medical Association and the Portuguese Psychologists’ Association, will reach even further: with more information and more perspectives on a subject that touches us all. We can only applaud the importance that Observador gives to Mental Health.

Since October 2021, the series Labirinto – Conversas sobre Saúde Mental is an example of how the Observer has dealt with the subject: the interviews with public figures who speak openly about their diagnoses of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, burnout or addition have already been viewed, read, and listened to almost 2 million times, and the numbers continue to grow daily.

In this new area of the Observador site, news, reports, interviews, and chronicles will be published in text, video, and podcasts.
