Today is . This year, we recognize the urgent need to support the mental well-being of people affected by crises – from conflicts to natural disasters.

During times of crisis, nearly 1 in 5 people experience a mental health condition. By working together– governments, healthcare providers, educators, and communities – we can ensure that mental health care is inclusive, accessible, and part of every emergency response.

Today, we celebrate fathers, father figures, and those who show up with love, strength, and support in big and small ways.

We recognize that fatherhood comes in many forms - and that it’s okay for dads to need support, too. Whether you're navigating new parenthood, managing stress, or working on healing, you deserve care and compassion.

Wishing you a day filled with peace, joy, and the recognition you deserve!
