Why Is Global Holistic Wealth Day Important?

Global Mental Health Crisis: Around the globe, we are faced with a mental health crisis. According to the World Health Organization, around 450 million people currently struggle with mental illness, making it the leading cause of disability worldwide. In Canada, it affects more than 6.7 million people. One in two Canadians have—or have had—a mental illness by the time they reach 40 years of age. In the United States, a recent CNN/KFF survey revealed that  90% of adults think the country is experiencing a mental health crisis. From 2015 to 2019, prescriptions for anti-depressants rose 38% for teenagers compared to 15% for adults.

A Global Financial Well-Being Crisis: According to CNBC, total credit card debt reached a record $930.6 billion by the end of last year. “More consumers are leaning on credit cards to afford increasingly expensive necessities such as food and rent. At this rate, households are nearing a “breaking point,” according to a separate study by WalletHub”. Financial illiteracy is still a huge global problem.

Across all age groups, the average estimated money loss reported due to lack of personal finance knowledge was $1,389.06. Financial illiteracy is estimated to have cost the United States more than $352 billion in 2021.

Global Health Crisis: Skyrocketing rates of illness and disease including cancer (including, prostate and breast cancers and others), as well as chronic illnesses such as diabetes on the rise and long COVID.

Social Justice/Gun Violence/Racial Crisis: The social fabric of our communities is threatened by increasing gun violence and racism. More than 50 American municipalities and three states have formally highlighted racism as a public health crisis.
