What’s the public sector role in mental health?   This year saw the UAE Federal Mental Health Law, which came into effect in May 2024, prohibiting employers from discriminating against employees suffering from mental health conditions.    In Dubai, guided by the directives of HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, the Mental Wealth Framework has been launched by the Dubai Health Authority, backed by an AED105 million fund, designed to support the mental well-being of everyone in the Emirate, targetting ‘the pace of life’ in the fast-moving city.   And, in Abu Dhabi, the Parent-Friendly Label, launched by the Abu Dhabi Early Childhood Authority, seeks to convince employers to offer more flexible working arrangements for parents, with companies who embrace this honored by the president of the UAE himself, His Highness HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan   And we know this is just scratching the surface, with two days to go before entries close ‘the mentl awards 2024’ are not just about heroing the private sector we want to hero those working across government sectors in the UAE too.   ⭐ Outstanding mental health support in the public sector   This category is calling for entries from public sector entities in the UAE be they government agencies or departments who are showing commendable commitment to mental health.
