In our fast paced world, managing mental health has never been easy. Throw in a global pandemic and the issue becomes even more complicated. So how are people coping these days? What can everyone do to better protect their mental health?

The World Economic Forum is hosting an event in partnership with YouTube, via live stream, to help answer these questions and more.

On January 25 at 10 a.m. PT, the Global Director of Health Partnerships at YouTube, Dr. Garth Graham, is chatting with the Co-founder and CEO of Calm.com, Michael Acton Smith, plus two YouTube creators and experts on mental health.
