What is World Mental Health Day?
World Mental Health Day is an event organised by the WFMH (World Federation for Mental Health) in cooperation with WHO (World Health Organization). The aim of this day is to raise awareness of mental health and mental health disorders and to promote a positive mental attitude.
It occurs every year on 10th October and is supported by people all around the world. The focus is on raising awareness of mental health conditions and gaining more help and support for those dealing with mental disorders.
One person in five will be affected by a mental health disorder at some stage of their lives. For this reason we must look at ways of developing a healthy mind and building positive emotions. It is also vital that governments worldwide invest in mental health to ensure the wellbeing of their citizens.
The theme for World Mental Health Day 2026 is: ‘Yet to be announce...’.
