🌍 World Mental Health Day 2025
Theme: “Access to Services – Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies”
This year’s theme resonates deeply with what we recently witnessed in Dehradun after the devastating cloudburst and floods. Homes were washed away, belongings lost, and countless residents were left in shock and despair, their mental and physical wellbeing severely impacted.
Amidst this catastrophe, the National Medical Organization (NMO), local doctors, and various NGOs came together to set up relief and mental health support camps.
I feel truly humbled to have been able to offer my services this sunday as a mental health professional during this critical time. It was a reminder that in disasters, healing goes beyond rebuilding homes — it includes rebuilding hope, resilience, and emotional strength. 💚
Let’s continue working towards making mental health services accessible for all, especially in times of crisis.
