Theme 2025: Fostering disability inclusive societies for advancing social progress
Across all regions, persons with disabilities and their households face challenges and barriers in the attainment of social development objectives:

They are more likely to live in poverty;
They continue to face discrimination in employment, receiving lower wages and being overrepresented in the informal sector;
Social protection systems are uneven in coverage and inadequate when considering extra disability-related costs, frequently excluding persons with disabilities in the informal sector; and,
Many persons with disabilities’ experiences within care and support systems continue to be marked by the denial of their dignity, autonomy and agency.

This year’s theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health is access to services - mental health in catastrophes and emergencies. The theme highlights the importance of people being able to protect their mental health whatever they're going through, because everyone deserves good mental health.

On this Truth and Reconciliation Day, we acknowledge the profound impact that the residential school system has had on the mental health of Indigenous peoples. The trauma of colonization and the loss of language, culture, and community has had lasting effects that are still felt today.

As a mental health organization, we are committed to supporting the healing and wellness of Indigenous individuals and pledge to work towards a future where all people can thrive.
