World Mental wellness Day 2008
Celebrated during the 10th of October, psychological health day is a worldwide educational campaign which aims to extend knowledge on psychological health to unaware individuals. For the first time in 1992, it was observed by the World Federation for Mental Health as an annual activity.
Each special event of this global event keeps a theme that aims to concentrate the concerns of the World Federation with regard to Mental Health on particular problems.
For this year’s concept, the organizers chose to create mental health issues a global concern, after all mental health is an international concern. It is known for a fact that not only people in america, Canadians or other extremely industrialized citizens experience the issues caused by mental health. psychological disorders do not choose their own victims. They occur in almost all cultures, in all ages and on both sexes.
The unfortunate thing though is that there is too little attention being given in helping people with mental wellness. We, Americans, are fortunate because our government, our health authorities and many other organizations are usually tying up to mobilize the causes for assisting people with psychological health. However, even our own current efforts are not enough. In many countries though, in fact in almost all countries in the world, mental wellness is being given too little issue. This is aggravated by lack of funds, by lack of services and by lack of nearly all the resources required to advance the causes associated with mental health.
For this 12 months, the World Federation for psychological Health made it a point to seek everyone’s concern in fighting mental health. This is carried out through strengthening services and the participation of the citizens.
furthermore, WMHDAY 2008 will emphasize the present needs of people along with mental health and the advancements of present methodologies, treatment options and management of psychological health. Advocacy is the key and this year’s aim is to incorporate the sense of advocation to all people so that modify could be feasible. WMHDAY 08 also advocates that resolving mental health issues could also be caused by feeding the right info to all kinds of people by providing reliable resources.
Its time for the world to listen. Through this particular year’s team, we could eliminate the stigma and discrimination people with mental disorders feel. via right public information, people who do not suffer with such disorders might understand their suffering equivalent and could help them improve their life. And through the supply of correct information for the unaware general public, they could share their life to those people with mental wellness disorders.
Enough for the clucking of tongues after an unpleasant event happened caused by, state, a mentally ill person. Enough with the daily aches and pains people with mental disorders encounter because the public does not have adequate knowledge on the nature of their disorders. Enough with the unjust treatment to these distressed people. They need help, not splendour. Support not stigma.
all of us always hear it in the information. A father killed their family and killed himself right after. A teenage killed their peers and turned the particular gun against him plus killed himself afterwards. the mother killed her kids and got sent to a psychological institution. Why do we always have to wait for something to happen prior to we take action?
Why do not we listen to the unpleasant sufferings of the mentally sick individuals now and provide all of them the proper services they need plus deserve? World Mental wellness Day 2008 sponsors quietly the belief that the world would be a much better place if only we can realize and help people with psychological problems.
