The World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) started this mental health awareness campaign in 1992, it is celebrated every year on October 10th.

World Mental Health Day provides the opportunity to raise awareness about world mental health issues and creates the opportunity for people to call for action and advocate for change in mental health.

Every year the World Federation for Mental Health sets a theme for World Mental Health Day, this year’s theme is ‘Mental Health is a Universal Human Right’.

We can all play a role in increasing our awareness of mental health, to have open conversations about mental health and in reducing the stigma attached.
