Re:Set x NYUAD develop first-ever regional multilingual mental health and preventative health resources

Dubai, UAE: Re:Set, the leading platform for mental health, well-being, growth and inclusion, collaborates with NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) to provide weekly mental health and preventative health resources in eight languages, for its domestic workers and contracted staff. The resources are available in English, Hindi, Urdu, Malayalam, Tagalog, Sinhala, Luganda, and Nepali, to ensure accessibility for all.

Developed in May 2021, the collaboration was driven by an alignment of values and a focus on mental health for NYUAD’s domestic workers and contracted staff. The programme was launched in response to NYUAD’s Office of Social Responsibility (OSR), which wanted to ensure that the well-being of its contracted staff and domestic workers was supported during COVID-19 and thereafter. The Re:Set x NYUAD mental health and well-being resources are distributed on an app that all contracted NYU Abu Dhabi colleagues have access to. The Hindi mental health resources remain the most viewed on the app, with users selecting this language preference, and English coming in second. Post-pandemic, these resources will now also be provided by Re:Set in-person through multilingual workshops and sessions.

The resources cover a wide range of topics such as mental health and preventative health, COVID-19 and the multitude of ways to support
