The theme for World Mental Health Day 2025, announced by the World Federation for Mental Health, is “Access to Services: Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.” It highlights the urgent need to make mental health support available and accessible during crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, and other emergencies.
The focus this year is on addressing the psychological impact of humanitarian crises, displacement, and emergencies. The theme stresses that mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) must reach even those in the most challenging circumstances.
Amid growing global humanitarian challenges, the campaign underlines the importance of supporting both the affected populations and those providing frontline services. It calls for breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and ensuring that mental well-being remains an integral part of recovery and resilience-building efforts.
