Today is World Mental Health Day, when the issue of mental health comes under the spotlight – inviting people to show their support on social media platforms as well as by wearing a green ribbon badge to raise awareness of the campaign.
While physical health is important, mental health is something that requires its own care, attention and responsibility too.
And at a time when the Covid pandemic has left millions more struggling with their wellbeing, it’s needed more than ever.
Read on to find out more about today’s theme, resources and other quotes to help celebrate…
World Mental Health Day 2021 theme
The theme for this year’s World Mental Health Day, set by the World Federation, is ‘mental health in an unequal world’.
The World Federation For Mental Health has been tracking the impact of the Covid pandemic on people’s mental health over the past year,with research showing that many of those struggling the most were those already facing considerable challenges – such as suffering from long-term health conditions, facing discrimination, or parenting on their own.
Mental health and wellbeing is not a ‘trend’ or a ‘fad’ – it is important and the resources made available by the Mental Health Foundation will help you understand how to incorporate and adopt better mental health care, just like you would with your physical health.
World Mental Health Day 2020 had the theme of ‘mental health for all’.
If you wish to partake further and use the resources available, you can consider donating today to keep the charity funded.
