Today is World Mental Health Day, a day to acknowledge the importance of good mental health and the continuing work to protect and support the mental health of people around the world. Days such as this provide an opportunity to remind ourselves of the value of being more open and mindful of our own and others’ mental health and wellbeing.
Although mental health itself remains a huge challenge for society, we have seen a gradual, though significant, erosion of the stigma which used to surround it. Stigma only exacerbates distress and hinders help seeking. Its eradication enables us to tackle the root causes of poor mental health more easily.
If you’re feeling worried or anxious about world events, simply having a chat with friends or family could help your mental health.
