World Mental Health Day is happening on Thursday 10th October 2024. The official theme set annual by the World Federation for Mental Health is:

It is time to prioritise mental health in the workplace

World Mental Health Day is an annual awareness day observed every 10th October. It is the World’s Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) initiative with the objectives to raise awareness of mental health matters around the world, to mobilize efforts in support of mental health and to reduce stigma.

 

Like most awareness days, weeks and months, it throws a spotlight on a topic of great importance. Everyone has mental health – it matters 365 days of the year, but the 10th October is a chance for everyone to unit across the globe to educate and raise awareness of mental health matters. It encourages everyone to look after their own mental health and those of others through greater understanding and empathy. Organisations often use awareness days to promote and seek support for their services to ensure that people have the help they need.
