At lunch, the Minister of Health opened the information website umhuga.is, which is an information website that aims to summarize information regarding the mental health of children and young people.
On umhuga.is people can access information in one place about the main factors in the upbringing and circumstances of children and adolescents that affect their mental health during their growing up years. The website will also include information about depression and anxiety and where to go for help.
Umhuga.is is a prevention project run by the project Þjóð against depression and its partners. The Nation Against Depression has since its inception focused on depression and adult suicides, including in collaboration with the European Alliance Against Depression, but now people are turning their attention to the situation of children and teenagers.
