๐ On this World Mental Health Day, 10th October 2025, we reflect on the theme set by the World Federation for Mental Health: โAccess to Services โ Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.โ
In times of crisisโbe it natural disasters, conflict, or other emergenciesโthe importance of accessible mental health support cannot be overstated. This theme serves as a vital reminder that mental health services must be readily available to all, including those providing care.
Mental health is a universal need; everyone affected by crises deserves prioritisation in their mental well-being. Furthermore, this theme underscores the necessity of incorporating mental health strategies into emergency preparedness and response plans. By doing so, we not only address immediate needs but also invest in building resilience within our communities for the future.
Let us advocate for comprehensive mental health support during emergencies and ensure that no one is left behind. Together, we can foster a society where mental health is valued and accessible to all. ๐
