Today Is World Mental Health Day
Today, Malta joins the rest of the world in marking World Mental Health Day, a reminder to raise awareness, break the stigma, and support one another in the journey towards better mental wellbeing.
Every year, mental health challenges affect millions across the globe, and Malta is no exception. Families, friends, and communities all feel the impact. But change starts when we choose to speak openly, listen without judgement, and remind those around us that they are not alone.
This year’s theme is all about access to services, Mental Health in Catastrophes and Emergencies.
The focus is on ensuring that mental health support remains available during crises, disasters, and emergencies, highlighting the importance of accessible care when it’s needed most.
If you or someone you know needs help in Malta:
- 179 (Supportline) – 24/7 support for anyone in crisis
- 1770 (Richmond Foundation) – professional mental health support
