By Zoila Palma: World Mental Health Day is observed globally today to raise awareness about mental health issues and to mobilize efforts to make mental health care accessible for all.
The day provides a platform for stakeholders, including health professionals, policymakers, and community groups, to share their work and discuss strategies for improving mental health services worldwide.
This year’s theme focuses on mental health in humanitarian emergencies.
Natural disasters, conflicts, and public health crises often trigger emotional distress, with one in five people experiencing a mental health condition during such events.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that addressing these needs is crucial, as mental health support not only saves lives but also empowers individuals and communities to heal, recover, and rebuild.
Collaborative efforts from governments, healthcare providers, schools, and community organizations are essential to ensure vulnerable populations receive the help they need.
Investing in evidence-based and community-centered interventions can meet immediate mental health needs while promoting long-term recovery.
On this World Mental Health Day, the global call is clear: mental health must be valued, protected, and made accessible to all, particularly during times of crisis and adversity.
