October 10th is World Mental Health Day.

The theme is ‘Mental health is a universal human right.”

The World Health Organization says one in eight people globally are living with mental health conditions, which can impact their physical health, their well-being, how they connect with others, and their livelihoods.

Mental health conditions are also affecting an increasing number of adolescents and young people.

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay

No matter who you are, you have the right to the highest attainable standard of #MentalHealth
This means you have the right to the treatment & resources that allow you to cope, connect & thrive in the world.
