WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 💚💚

This World Mental Health Day, the WHO asigned the theme as “Accessible Mental Health Care in Humanitarian Crises.”

We don’t have to look far, crises are all around us: gender-based violence, substance use, poverty, and so much more. Each of these shapes how (and whether) people can access mental health care services.

Accessibility isn’t just about availability - it’s about Awareness, Motivation, and Consistency.

💡 You can’t access services you don’t know exist.
❤️ You need motivation to reach out.
🕊️ And services must be consistent - not just sometimes available, but always safe and reliable.

As mental health professionals, we carry the responsibility to create spaces that are trustworthy, dependable, and truly accessible.

💚🌍💚
