There is no health without mental health. This World Mental Health Day, let us pledge 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 1 in 5 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.
Today we stand hand in hand to ensure the most vulnerable have access to the support they need while protecting the well-being of everyone. Wishing you the best of mental health today and always!
