🌏 10/10/25 🌎

World Mental Health day

🧠 Today is World Mental Health Day — a global reminder that mental health is not a luxury, it’s a necessity. This year’s theme, “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies,” calls attention to the invisible toll of crises — from natural disasters to conflict zones — where emotional wounds often outlast physical ones. In times of upheaval, mental health support must be part of the first response, not an afterthought.

One in five people affected by emergencies may develop serious mental health conditions, yet services are often disrupted or inaccessible. We must advocate for systems that prioritize psychological first aid, tele-mental health, and community-based care — especially for vulnerable groups like children, the elderly, and displaced individuals.

Let’s use today to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and push for inclusive, resilient mental health services that reach people when they need it most. Because healing minds is just as vital as rebuilding lives.

Ever wanted to join a group with likeminded people with psychosocial impairments, but nervous about socialising?

I have a perfect solution, a walking group, where there is no pressure to socalise, but opportunities to socialise if you feel comfortable and wish to.

If you’re a Minerva client and interested, please feel free to contact us to join our Walking Group, which commences this Wednesday.
