World Mental Health Day: Celebrating the Wonders of Mental Health
from:This event was first celebrated way back in 1992 on the tenth day of October. The first ever World Mental Health Day began without a particular theme in mind although the objectives for such a celebration were clear enough. The reasons put forth by the World Federation for Mental Health for the creation of such a day as the World Mental Health Day revolved around the many issues that had to do with mental health and the need to have people realize how important good mental health was in conjunction with good physical health as well as to show people that the people suffering from mental problems are people that need care and support.
The World Mental Health Day celebration went on every year after it was first initiated and every year, more and more people seem to take notice and to understand the logic behind the activities of the World Federation for Mental Health.
While the first two years of the World Mental Health Day celebrations basically covered a lot of ground, it did not focus on one particular issue for the year or the day. The third year that the World Mental Health Day was held finally centered on one particular issue. The celebration of World Mental Health Day in 1994 had the theme “Improving the Quality of Mental Health Services throughout the World.” This theme had the members and supporters of the World Federation for Mental Health coming up with programs and ideas that revolved around the theme for that year's World Mental Health Day celebration. This then paved the way for the creation of a theme every year for this day that helps people take note of the need to give some time and effort to making good mental health a priority in the regions that they are in.
In 2007, the theme that is being used for the celebration of World Mental Health Day is “Mental Health in a Changing World: The Impact of Culture and Diversity”. While this celebration is slated to take place worldwide in one day, which is the 10th of October, planning for such an event takes months. The activities that members in different parts of the world come up with are all aimed at showing those who do not yet understand the ill effects of mental illness and what can be done to create a mentally sound world. These activities are then shared with the other members around the world after the celebration of World Mental Health Day with the help of the organization that first created the World Mental Health Day.
