“The best part of a PhD is to complete it.” someone told me once.

It is been exactly 8 months that this saying resonates with me. Defending my PhD on April 4 was not only the biggest professional achievement of 2024, but of my entire career so far. 1/n

It is hard to put in words how rewarding it was to proudly explain and defend 4.5 years of work for an audience of friends and family, colleagues and supervisors. Celebrating the outcome of the long and arduous path that brought me there: my research and contribution to knowledge

The last in-person @WHO Mental Health Forum was 5y ago.

A lot has changed in the topic since then, but the passionate energy of those working on it remains the same.

What a good way to celebrate the World Mental Health day, representing @OECD_Social within the community !

[Francisca Vargas Lopes @FranciscaVLopes]

“Mental health and work” a topic in which @OECD_Social has been developing extensive work since early 2010s👇🏼

There is a lot to do still, happy to be contributing to it #WorldMentalHealthDay

[OECD Social @OECD_Social]

Living with #MentalHealth conditions makes it harder to transition from education to work, to work effectively and productively, and to stay employed.
