Today is World Mental Health Day 10.10

Mental health is our right

People and communities can use World Mental Health Day 2023 to increase knowledge, raise awareness and drive action to promote and protect everyone’s right to mental health as a universal human right.

Mental health is a basic human right for all people. Everyone, no matter who they are, wherever they are, has the right to the highest attainable standard of mental health. This includes the right to be free from mental health risks, the right to good treatment and care that is available, accessible and acceptable, and the right to freedom, independence and inclusion in the community.
