“Mental health in humanitarian emergencies / Access to services – mental health in catastrophes and emergencies”

This World Mental Health Day, we highlight the importance of mental health in times of crisis and emergencies. Everyone — children, youth, and adults alike — deserves access to support, care, and guidance. By raising awareness, breaking the stigma, and offering help, we can ensure that no one faces mental health challenges alone.
