This paper aims to enhance knowledge about the many interacting forces that shape individual and collective levels of mental health and well-being and set out actions that can be pursued to promote and protect good mental health. It provides a framework that employs a life course approach for assessing the social determinants of mental health and demonstrates how risk exposures in the formative stages of life can affect mental well-being or predispose towards mental disorder years later.
