Are there messages that speak to the economic imperative but offer a
win-win scenario for racialised youth mental health?
![Page 30: Promoting mental health in racialised youth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814aa0550346895db7b2b6/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Mental capital?
If we are to prosper in a competitive world our mental and material resources are vital
Build environments that enable everyone to realise their potential
crucial for our future prosperity and wellbeing.
![Page 31: Promoting mental health in racialised youth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814aa0550346895db7b2b6/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Mental capital = IQ + EQ + mental health
![Page 32: Promoting mental health in racialised youth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814aa0550346895db7b2b6/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
EQ = social skills
Emotional intelligence (EQ) is not a new concept; Socrates: Know Thyself. Studies show that EQ is the best predictor of a child's
future achievement; better than any other single factor.
EQ is a better predictor of success than IQ and technical skills combined
![Page 33: Promoting mental health in racialised youth](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814aa0550346895db7b2b6/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Mental capital and health promotion
The challenge to government is to invest in our future They need to build IQ To get schools to build EQ But also to produce environments that protect mental
health

Social capital
“By social capital I mean features of social life – networks, norms and trust – that enable participants to act together more effectively to pursue shared objectives”

quality of social interactions and institutions “the glue that holds society together”
• Kawachi.

Specific impacts on mental health from literature
Social capital’s relation to mental health is complex Different types of social capital impact on health in
different ways Bridging social capital may produce more access to
information, supports and safety nets which buffer the effects of life events on mental health

Promoting mental health in racialised youth
Developing a social system links City 3 - City 1 Decreasing gulf between rich and poor Increasing opportunity to build social capital Increasing opportunities to link culturally Developing a culture of preserving mental capital

Mental health promotion is not a mystery
Evidence based, cost-effective strategies documented
Ontario legislature - every $1 spent on mental health promotion you get $7 return
PHAC youth tell us what they want..
But we do not do this very well.
