"Accessing both services and resources, mobile phones do have the potential to bridge this gap, but there is not a universal digital experience". Regular mobile phone use is very widespread, but people with disabilities did have less access.

♻️ #Sustainability

🤝 #Impact

💙 #Wellbeing

[Ember Mental Health @Ember_mh]

How does Ember approach measuring the #impact of #communitybased #mentalhealth organisations?

When we support community-based mental health initiatives to measure and communicate their impact, we value both #qualitative and #quantitative methods.

[SHM Foundation @SHMFoundation]

@Ember_mh Our flagship programme @Ember_mh partners with community-based mental health organisations so they can grow and thrive.

Part of Ember's work is supporting these organisations to measure and communicate their impact.

This work has to be #peoplecentered.
