World Mental Health Day, observed annually on October 10, aims to raise global awareness of mental health issues and promote support for those facing challenges. This year’s theme, “It is Time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace,” highlights the need to foster supportive work environments and integrate mental health into workplace culture. This theme in particular highlights the importance of overall employee well-being.
Moreover, the primary goal of World Mental Health Day is to break the stigma surrounding mental health conditions, encourage open conversations about mental well-being, and improve access to mental health services. This occasion is marked by spreading awareness about mental health via conferences, seminars, public campaigns, social media events, and local community gatherings.
Many workplaces and institutions also observe the day as an opportunity to organise discussions and wellness activities and offer resources to promote mental well-being among employees, students, and the general public.
As we observe World Mental Health Day today, let’s reflect on some powerful quotes that remind us of the importance of nurturing our mental well-being.
