On 10th October every year, World Mental Health Day is celebrated in order to raise awareness and draw attention to this very important issue for all communities and societies.
Mental Health Resources
Mental health is a complex issue that can have tragic consequences if left unaddressed. As the World Health Organisation points out, “mental health is more than the absence of mental disorders”. Mental health “is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, realize their abilities, learn well and work well, and contribute to their community. It is an integral component of health and well-being that underpins our individual and collective abilities to make decisions, build relationships and shape the world we live in. Mental health is a basic human right. And it is crucial to personal, community and socio-economic development”.
If you are struggling with your mental health, please reach out for help. There are many organizations and helplines available to support you through difficult times.
