Mental Health Awareness Campaign

Today is the World Mental Health Day!

This year's theme is "Psychological First Aid", encompassing psychological and social support by anyone who involve themselves in a helping role, regardless of their occupation.

It puts an emphasis on the importance of mental health in general health care, which conventionally focuses on physical health.

Efforts are being invested into providing psychological first aid for anyone experiencing acute distress or a crisis so that basic support or first aid is readily available and accessible, from general health, mental health as well as social services.

Take part in lending a helping hand, even if it only involves sitting down and having a small chat over a cup of tea or coffee!

Have a great day ahead!
