The U.S. aid package to tackle the coronavirus includes $425 million for mental health and substance use disorders and $50 million for suicide prevention to ramp up mental health services. A telemedicine program for mental health providers is being expanded and a suicide prevention program at Veteran Affairs Department is being expanded to other Americans. Second lady Mrs Pence is supporting the suicide prevention program. 

Widespread anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder is expected by experts as a profound aftershock from the coronavirus.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
