DIFI’s online seminar marks importance of World Mental Health Day 2021

Doha: Qatar Foundation’s Doha International Family Institute stressed the pivotal role of women in enhancing family cohesion and wellbeing, especially during COVID-19, which resulted in women taking on greater physical and mental responsibilities, in an online seminar titled ‘COVID-19: The Unseen Role of Mothers.’

Part of DIFI’s marking of World Mental Health Day 2021, themed ‘Mental Health for All: Let’s Make This a Reality,’ the webinar was organised in partnership with Sidra Medicine, a member of QF. 

The session focused on the key role of mothers during the pandemic, shining a spotlight on new family responsibilities imposed by this global crisis on women, and the consequences it has had on their mental health.
