Short Description of the Event:

"Mental health…is not a destination, but a process. It’s about how you drive, not where you’re going." — Noam Shpancer

World Mental Health Day (10th Oct) is a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters. It’s also a day to let people know that it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you’re going through.

World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10 every year.  The day was first observed by World Federation for Mental Health in 1992. 

World Mental Health Day serves as a powerful reminder that there is no health without mental health. This year’s campaign focuses on the urgent need 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 one in five 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. By working hand in hand, we can ensure the most vulnerable have access to the support they need while protecting the well-being of everyone.  

By investing in evidence and community-based interventions, we can address immediate mental health needs, foster long-term recovery, and empower people and communities to rebuild their lives and thrive.

On this World Mental Health Day, let us intensify our efforts to create a world where mental health is valued, protected, and accessible for all, especially in the face of adversity.

World Mental Health Day 2023 Theme: 

The 2025 theme - “Access to Services - Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies” - highlights the need to:

  • Provide psychological first aid after disasters.
  • Strengthen digital mental health platforms for remote access.
  • Train communities and volunteers in basic counseling.
  • Ensure governments integrate mental health into disaster response plans.

The program was well coordinated by Mental Health Nursing Department in the presence of Principal, all faculty members and students of M.Sc. Nursing, B.Sc. Nursing 5th Semester and GNM 2nd year. Prof. Dr. Saraswati Kala and Dr. Anil Thapliyal were the chief guest for the ceremony and addressed that mental health is very important for all of us and specified the need of mental health nurse.  We organized a seminar on the bases of theme “Mental Health is a Universal Human Right”.
