Canadian Technology Magazine’s Post

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and team #TechAzur would like to add our support to this important awareness effort. We all need to recognize that Mental Health is as critical to everyone’s quality of life as their physical health, these are fundamental human rights. So, it is crucial to embrace technological advancements and strive for more inclusive and supportive mental health systems globally. Digital technologies are revolutionizing the way we approach Mental Health, making it more visible, accessible, and convenient for individuals to seek help and support. From Telehealth platforms to Mental Health and mindfulness apps, there are endless possibilities for improving access to care and support for those in need.
