World Mental Health Day is an international day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy against social stigma. It was first celebrated in 1992 at the initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health, a global mental health organization with members and contacts in more than 150 countries.
This year's theme is prioritizing mental health in the workplace. France has a program known as the
Semaines d’Information sur la Santé Mentale (SISM) that organizes events and helps other groups organize "
animations" with local partners to promote understanding of mental health and destigmatize the illness. For more information visit:
