Mental health is not a luxury — it's essential. For all of us.
The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day highlights the urgent need for accessible, timely support for those living through humanitarian crises.
In times of disaster, displacement, and emergency, mental health care can be lifesaving. And even outside of crisis, it remains a fundamental human right.
Let’s use today as a reminder:
We must continue advocating for a world where mental health is protected and prioritised — every day, and especially in times of crisis.
