Resilienceapac – Breaking the Silence is no longer a choice it’s a necessity. A recent joint report by KPMG and Johnson & Johnson highlights the growing mental health crisis in the Asia Pacific region, where rising stress, economic pressures, and post-pandemic effects are pushing more people to the edge. The report urges immediate reforms across healthcare systems, with three clear priorities: improving access, integrating care, and reducing stigma.
Breaking the Silence starts with access. Millions across Asia Pacific still lack affordable and consistent mental health care. Rural communities and lower-income populations often face the greatest challenges, with limited clinics, long waiting times, and a severe shortage of mental health professionals.
The report recommends targeted investments in community-based services and digital health platforms to expand reach, particularly in underserved areas. Equitable access, it argues, is the first step toward making mental health support available to all not just the privileged few.

Healthcare in the region is often fragmented, with mental health services isolated from general health systems. The report calls for reform that brings mental and physical health together especially in primary care settings. This integration would allow early intervention, reduce stigma, and make treatment more efficient.
By embedding mental health support within everyday healthcare, patients are more likely to seek help early and receive continuous care. Breaking the Silence within medical systems means breaking down barriers between departments and focusing on the whole person.
Cultural stigma remains a major obstacle in the region. Many still view mental illness as a personal weakness rather than a health issue. KPMG and Johnson & Johnson stress the importance of national policies that promote mental health education, workplace support, and community awareness.
Breaking the Silence requires a shift not just in systems, but in mindset. Through widespread education and smart policy, countries can reduce shame and empower individuals to seek help without fear.
