The World’s Largest Database
on Mental Wellbeing
Global Mind Project
Tracking our evolving mental wellbeing
Our mental wellbeing and functional capability is evolving as our social, technological and cultural environment changes, in ways that we don’t fully understand.
The Global Mind Project (previously the Mental Health Million Project) seeks to track and understand this evolving relationship to inform the future health and wellbeing of society.
The Project
The project has created the world’s largest database of comprehensive mental health profiles along with demographics, lifestyle and life experience factors of the Internet-enabled population.
These data are being used to
Map the wellbeing and functional capability of people and populations around the globe.
Understand the root causes behind recent trends of declining mental health.
Deliver preventative solutions that shift the needle on mental health.
The Global Mind Project uses responses to the MHQ assessment, which is free and anonymous and provides an email report of scores with specific recommendations.
The Database
The database now contains profiles of over 1 million internet-enabled people across 71+ countries and 14 languages, along with demographics, lifestyle and life experience factors. 2000+ new profiles are added each day. Its dynamic and agile design allows rapid probing of emerging trends.
