World Mental Health Day Campaigns You can Join Today
The World Health Organization recognizes the World Mental Health Day on October 10 every year. The theme for this year set by the World Federation for Mental Health is “Mental health in an unequal world.” Many people with a mental illness do not receive the treatment that they are entitled to and continue to experience stigma and discrimination. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the effects of inequality on health outcomes.
The campaigns of “Mental Health in an unequal world” in the Maldives will help focus on the issues that perpetuate mental health inequality in our community. It will provide an opportunity for the organizations to come together and act together to highlight how inequality can be addressed to ensure people are able to enjoy good mental health.
