PRMC Gibraltar

World Mental Health Day (WMHD) is held every 10th of October. It is held to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilise efforts in support of mental health. This year has the theme “Mental health is a universal human right”.

WMHD is run by the World Foundation for Mental Health (WFMH). Partners for 2023 include the World Health Organisation and World Dignity Project.

This year the WFMH wants to ensure that all persons "receive quality mental health care and that the human rights and well-being of people with mental illness are respected in all parts of the world so that every person with a mental difficulty has:



The right to be protected from known harms to mental health; a universal right which applies to the entire population, but especially the vulnerable including children, minorities and the displaced peoples.
The right to access quality and affordable care when a person is struggling with their mental health.
The right to freedom and dignity, including the right of choice.
