Mental health in humanitarian emergencies

World Mental Health Day serves as a powerful reminder that there is no health without mental health. This year’s campaign focuses on the urgent need to support the mental health and psychosocial needs of people affected by humanitarian emergencies.

Crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, and public health emergencies cause emotional distress, with one in five individuals experiencing a mental health condition. Supporting the mental well-being of individuals during such crises is not just important – it saves lives, gives people the strength to cope, the space to heal and to recover and rebuild not only as individuals but as communities. That’s why it is essential for everyone, including government officials, health and social care providers, school staff and community groups to come together. By working hand in hand, we can ensure the most vulnerable have access to the support they need while protecting the well-being of everyone.

By investing in evidence and community-based interventions, we can address immediate mental health needs, foster long-term recovery, and empower people and communities to rebuild their lives and thrive.

On this World Mental Health Day, let us intensify our efforts to create a world where mental health is valued, protected, and accessible for all, especially in the face of adversity.

⚠️Trigger warning ⚠️ . Please notice the signs of child abuse. Protect the children and even if the abuser is a family member, friend, or faculty SPEAK UP!! If you are an adult and went through emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, it was NEVER your fault. Please seek assistance as well if you still need to process these feelings. Drugs and alcohol can numb the feelings, however, it can also have many other consequences for you. Healing is possible.

My mother used to dress me up as a girl, but I was a boy. This was one of the ways that she abused me.
For anyone reading this please know that for every word, there are so many tears. My mother was college educated, a degree in teaching. You would think that I was lucky but no. When I was 2, my mother kicked my father out of the house. I was unwanted, so she would leave me locked in the house alone, hungry and scared. At age 3, she started dressing me up like a girl. Dresses, with matching shoes and bows. She paraded me around town, even taking me to a professional studio for pictures. I had long hair, and she told me I was pretty. NO ONE STOPPED THIS. My father wasn’t allowed to see me. I started busting windows and locks, to get out of the house. People would bring me back to her when I wandered the streets. I was 3, and trying to run away. At 4 yrs old, my father was allowed to see and babysit me. The dresses stopped. I remember how kind, and loving he was to me. That same year, he was killed by a drunk driver. We moved in with my grandparents. My grandfather was a horrible alcoholic, who would take me to bars with him and to see my uncles. My uncle Danny started to mo**st me at age 4. He was a he**in ju**ie alcoholic. He was caught many times mo**sting me by his wife, who did nothing to help me.
I was also mo**sted by my grandfather’s bar friends, and cousins as well. My grandfather rented my room out, so I shared a bed with multiple men, some who r***d me as well. My mother wasn’t around anymore, nor was there food or clean clothes, or toilet paper. Nothing for a child. I would hide under furniture, especially at night. I had ticks, fleas, and ringworm. At 6 yrs old, I went to a private catholic school. I would pray to God to kill me, to kill my mother, and to kill my grandfather, so I could be free. CPS was called, and when my mother found out she almost killed me. She broke some of my teeth as punishment, and told me she’d knock the rest out if I ever said anything about her again. I was mo**sted by two priests, a janitor, and a PE teacher in my Catholic school. I spent 29 yrs of my life, addicted to drugs and alcohol, and under my mothers evil control. No friends ever. No life. No love. After she died in 2016, my life become my own. I slowly quit my addictions, and I’m free now, of her and the family. But knowing I was not loved by my mother, is what always and will always make me cry. Because if your mother doesn’t love you ,then who will? Please save a child. Save an innocent soul. Don’t ignore a child in pain. That child needs to be saved. I was not saved. I am 57 now, and doing well within myself. I love me, no matter what.

Stay away from the men that make it their duty to humble you or remind you of your flaws. You think jealousy is bad coming from a woman? A jealous woman ain't got nothing on a jealous man. Men who feel the need to belittle or demean others, especially those they claim to care about, often do so out of their own deep-seated insecurities.

These men may use criticism, condescension, or even subtle put-downs to make themselves feel more powerful or superior. However, this behavior can be incredibly damaging to those on the receiving end, eroding confidence, self-esteem, and emotional well-being.

Jealousy in men can manifest differently than in women, often masquerading as possessiveness, control, or aggression. When a man is driven by jealousy, he may become overly critical, accusatory, or even violent, using his emotions to manipulate and dominate those around him.

It's essential to recognize the signs of jealousy and controlling behavior in men, such as:

- Constant criticism or belittling
- Possessiveness or controlling behavior
- Accusations of flirting or attention-seeking
- Emotional manipulation or guilt-tripping
- Anger or aggression when boundaries are set

If you find yourself in a situation with someone who consistently makes you feel bad about yourself or tries to control your behavior, it's crucial to prioritize your own emotional safety. Set clear boundaries, seek support from trusted friends or family, and consider distancing yourself from the toxic dynamic.

Your emotional well-being is worth more than any relationship. Don't settle for someone who makes you feel small, insignificant, or unworthy. You deserve to be treated with respect, kindness, and compassion.

⭐️Abusive relationship. No, you are not making it up or the one causing the issue. Have a read 👇

I don't know who needs to hear this right now, but if you're in a relationship with someone who picks fights with you right before deadlines, interviews, birthdays, tests, or before going out with friends, you are in an abusive relationship with someone who is sabotaging you.

That is not coincidence. That is not just “bad timing.” That is calculated control. When someone knows you have something important ahead and chooses that exact moment to create drama, arguments, or emotional chaos, it’s because they want to weaken you. They want you distracted, drained, and emotionally shaken so that you can’t show up as your best self. They are not just ruining a day, they are intentionally stealing your moments, your confidence, and your joy.

Real love doesn’t compete with your happiness. A healthy partner doesn’t feel threatened by your success or your celebrations. They cheer you on, they calm your nerves, they reassure you when you doubt yourself. They want to see you smile, not cry. They want you to win, not crumble.

Pay close attention to the patterns:

If the fights always show up right before your important events, it’s not random.

If your joy is constantly overshadowed by their anger, it’s not love.

If you feel like you’re walking on eggshells every time something good is about to happen for you, that’s control.

You deserve a partner who celebrates you, not one who sabotages you. Someone who brings peace, not chaos. Someone who protects your mind, not one who tries to break it.

If this feels familiar, please don’t minimize it. Don’t excuse it. Don’t keep telling yourself, “Maybe it’s just stress” or “Maybe I’m overreacting.” No. This is emotional abuse, and abuse doesn’t always come in bruises or yelling—it often comes in silence, manipulation, and perfectly timed sabotage.

Protect your energy. Guard your spirit. Your life moments are too valuable to let someone else destroy them. Real love will feel like safety, encouragement, and freedom—not sabotage.

⭐️ It is okay to talk to your child about their diagnoses. See great these great tips by neurodivergent_insights on the benefits.

Talking to your kid about their diagnosis isn't just important, it's also a way to help them feel more in control. It gives them the language to understand themselves and tools to support themselves:

💬 Language to describe their experiences without shame or defaulting to character-based labels.
💛 A foundation to support self-compassion
📢 A framework for self-advocacy
💞 New opportunities for belonging and connection
✨ Basic respect for who they are

Talking openly about a diagnosis is about giving kids the knowledge, language, and confidence to understand themselves and navigate the world with more support and clarity.
