In support of mental health awareness month, we’re here to shine a light on the importance of emotional well-being and to provide you with valuable resources to help navigate this vital aspect of your life. 

Mental Health Awareness Month carries a profound theme: “Mental health is a universal human right.” It’s a call for unity in improving knowledge, raising awareness, and taking actions that promote and protect the mental health of every individual. 

Here are some eye-opening facts about mental health: 

• About half of all mental disorders start before the age of 14. 
• Trauma incidents like war and other major disasters contribute to the causes of mental health disorders. 
• Mental health disorders are among the most treatable causes of suicide. 

• Discrimination against individuals and families dealing with mental disorders often impedes them from seeking the care they need. 
• Across the globe, numerous reports document violations of human rights for people with mental disabilities. 

Mental health is a fundamental human right for everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live. It encompasses the right to be shielded from mental health risks, access to available, acceptable, and high-quality care, and the right to liberty, independence, and inclusion within the community.
