At Pinterest, we're on a mission to help people create a life they love -a mission that is perhaps most important when life presents unexpected challenges to wellbeing. According to the World Health Organization, one in four people will be affected by mental health issues in their lifetime, and more than 300 million people today suffer from depression.

In honor of World Mental Health Day, we're sharing the latest ways people are turning to Pinterest as a positive corner of the internet, as well as news on community giving, and launching Havens, an online and offline space for community-driven inspiration.

Our goal of advancing inspiration guides how we show up in our communities, how we think about our societal obligations, how we contribute our time and resources, and how we tackle barriers that prevent positivity or introduce toxicity. We're creating space-on our platform and in the world-for reflection on how mental health can impact us all globally.
