At the World Health Organisation, we are pleased to be collaborating with Facebook in support of that goal for this year's World Mental Health Day," said Gabriella Stern, WHO Director of Communications.Facebook said that on Instagram, people can feel a pressure to present a perfect image of themselves."But we also know that many people have found communities of support and inspiration.
