The overall objective of World Mental Health Day (10 October) is to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and to mobilize efforts in support of mental health.

The Day provides an opportunity for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide.

During this year’s World Mental Health Day campaign, the World Health Organization will showcase the efforts made as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and encourage everyone to highlight positive stories as part of their own activities, as an inspiration to others.

New materials, in easy-to-read formats, are available.
