Citiesrise

Local collective action: an innovative and structured approach to cross-sector collaboration that brings creative and collaborative local leaders together under a common operating plan and goal framework to reach as many people as possible. Citiesrise currently partners with local organizations and stakeholders in several cities across the world, including seattle, sacramento, chennai, bogota, and nairobi.

Young people and youth leadership: by focusing on young people and youth leadership, Citiesrise is creating awareness of mental health from an early stage, mobilizing youth to be leaders in the field, addressing large-scale stigma, and preventing mental health challenges before they become chronic or disabling. The ultimate goal of this pillar is to contribute to global learning on priorities for young people's mental health and the measurable leverage points that offer the most potential for positive change. Citiesrise does this through the following activities: amplifying youth advocacy, engaging youth networks, and supporting youth-led programming.

Accelerator cr: supports social entrepreneurs to take their models to scale with path-to-market strategies, development of business models, and integration with systems operating at scale for long-term sustainability. This initiative is based on an understanding of the existing evidence about what works to improve mental health and then scaling up and adapting what works to new populations. As access to technology continues to reach previously unserved populations, the avenues for mental health services and support will also increase. Learning from experience and further building and applying the evidence of what works to improve mental health is a key element of the program.
