The World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) recognises World Mental Health Day on 10 October every year. World Mental Health Day celebrates awareness for the global community in an empathetic way, with a unifying voice, helping those feel hopeful by empowering them to take action and to create lasting change. This year, the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) has decided the main theme of World Mental Health Day to be Mental Health for All.
