Mental health and wellbeing initiatives in South America

Overview

In late July and early August 2026, various mental health and wellbeing initiatives were organized across Chile and Argentina. In Chile, a seminar in Temuco focused on adolescent mental health, specifically addressing anxiety, depression, and the role of artificial intelligence in learning.

Simultaneously, Argentina hosted events ranging from a congress on hormonal regulation and emotional balance for women to community-based workshops. In Formosa, health authorities conducted sessions to help citizens recognize physical and emotional signs of anxiety, such as tachycardia and insomnia. In Córdoba, psychoeducational programs were launched to assist students in managing exam-related anxiety and developing coping strategies.
