Promoting mental health is one of the key challenges of our time, affecting people all over the world. With the increasing prevalence of mental disorders, the development of effective, accessible and innovative intervention strategies is more urgent than ever.

This Special Issue is dedicated to exploring and discussing a wide range of strategies for improving mental health. It provides a platform for the presentation of research dealing with the latest intervention techniques, evaluation methods and practical approaches.

I am pleased to invite you to participate and encourage you to submit research covering a wide range of topics, including the following:

  • Evaluating the effectiveness of different therapeutic approaches.
  • The development of new digital health tools and their integration into mental healthcare.
  • Cross-cultural studies on mental health and intervention effectiveness.

This Special Issue aims to promote a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics that influence mental health and to present innovative solutions that are applicable on a global scale.
