It's World Mental Health Day

Nearly 1 in 7 people live with a mental health condition.

People with lived experience can help transform mental health care at every stage: from designing services to delivering and improving them.
By collaborating and working together, experts with lived experience, and people working in mental health systems, policy, and research can design care that is person-centred, rights-based and rooted in dignity.

Make community-based services stronger, support continuity of care and make every conversation count.
