World Mental Health Day is observed annually on October 10 to promote awareness about mental health issues. The 2024 theme, “Mental Health at Work,” highlights the importance of supportive work environments. To reduce stress levels, practical tips include mindfulness, physical activity, proper sleep, and good time management. The day serves as a vital platform to encourage conversations about mental well-being and combat stigma. Initiated by the World Federation for Mental Health (WFMH) in 1992, this day has grown in importance, with more countries and organisations participating in campaigns to break the stigma surrounding mental health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) is emphasising the critical link between mental health and the workplace. Supportive work environments can significantly contribute to maintaining mental well-being. Conversely, unhealthy conditions such as stigma, discrimination, harassment, bullying and poor working conditions can threaten mental health. These challenges can diminish overall quality of life, work participation, and productivity.

World Mental Health Day serves as a platform to encourage open discussions about mental health and promote initiatives for mental well-being. Each year, the selected theme reflects a specific aspect of mental health, from increasing awareness of mental health conditions to highlighting the need for access to mental healthcare. The observance plays a crucial role in reducing stigma and motivating individuals to seek help when necessary.
