This Friday (10th October 2025) is World Mental Health day.

It is an annual event, aimed at raising awareness about mental health, promoting positive mental health, and reducing the stigma associated with mental illness.

To challenge the stigma and misconceptions surrounding mental illness, encouraging open and honest conversations without judgment.

To highlight that mental health is as important as physical health and encourage daily efforts to support and boost mental wellbeing.
