Emotional health
At Meta, we want to foster a safe place to discuss emotional health, including mental health. We work with external experts and organizations to create and scale tools and resources for supporting your emotional and mental health online.
Visit our Emotional Health Hub.
The Emotional Health Hub includes resources and tips on specific well-being topics, as well as localized resources for users across the globe. There's also an option to talk directly with a trusted friend or contact a helpline for online emotional support.
Connect with mental health services through Meta apps.
We've rolled out several features to connect people with expert support across our apps. These include:
- The World Health Organization Digital Stress Management Guide which provides easy-to-follow techniques designed to reduce stress and promote mental well-being. It is now available on the WHO Health Alert chatbot on WhatsApp.
- Suicide and self-harm prevention through our expanded partnership with Crisis Text Line. This feature provides crisis support over Messenger.
Support well-being with guides on Instagram.
We launched Instagram guides to help streamline user access to wellness resources. The guides provide a way to more easily discover mental health advice and resources from creators on Instagram.
