With the 2024 theme, "Make Mental Health and Wellbeing for All, a Global Priority", the international community calls for a collective effort to ensure mental health is recognised as a crucial aspect of overall well-being.

The World Federation for Mental Health first launched World Mental Health Day in 1992 to raise awareness and improve mental health education worldwide.
Since its inception, the day has become a platform to tackle various aspects of mental health, encouraging dialogue and reducing the societal taboos associated with it.
