Buckle up for a mental health revolution! World Mental Health Day, celebrated on October 10, 1992, thanks to the visionary minds at the World Federation for Mental Health, has transformed into a buzzing, worldwide hub for championing vital mental health matters.
This extraordinary annual event is a beacon of change, igniting minds and hearts across the globe. The mission is simple yet profound - to shout out loud and clear, to awaken minds, and drive transformative shifts in attitudes and actions.
Today we are celebrating 75 years of mental health advocacy aligning with the theme of World Mental Health Day 2023 – 'Mental Health is a Universal Human Right.
The campaign asserts that mental well-being should be accessible to all, emphasizing that it's not a privilege but a basic human right, akin to physical health. It advocates for a society free from the chains of stigma, discrimination, and neglect surrounding mental health.
This global movement invites everyone to jump in, from your next-door neighbor to international organizations, united for a cause that touches every soul. Through theme-based global events and diverse digital expressions, the campaign aims to raise awareness and underscore the significance of mental health.
As we unite to spotlight the importance of mental health as an essential universal human right, let's envision a world that values and nurtures the well-being of every individual.
