About World Mental Health Day
World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October each year, established by the World Federation for Mental Health in 1992. The day raises awareness about mental health issues and mobilises efforts to support mental wellbeing, with each year focusing on a specific theme chosen by the federation.
The 🧠 Brain represents the centre of mental health and the importance of caring for our cognitive and emotional wellbeing. 💚 Green heart is the colour associated with mental health awareness, symbolising hope, support, and compassion for those facing mental health challenges.
Self-care and mindfulness are key themes of the day. 🧘 Person in lotus position represents meditation and mindfulness practices that support mental wellness, while 💆 Person getting massage symbolises the importance of relaxation and taking time to care for yourself. World Mental Health Day reminds us that mental health is just as important as physical health.
