A unique initiative to advance knowledge about women’s mental health
Mental illness is becoming one of the biggest and most costly social issues of our time. Therefore, Uppsala University's Centre for Women's Mental Health, WOMHER, was launched - a unique interdisciplinary centre with the goal of producing evidence-based knowledge for future strategic decisions in working life and society. With the breadth of the university as our main strength, we create networks and educate a new generation of researchers who want to and can make a difference.
