Every year on the 10th of October we mark World Mental Health Day. On this day, Casal Nuovo, organised various activities to draw attention to mental health issues and to promote a healthy lifestyle. The day started with a healthy breakfast for the staff, a Zumba session for the clients together with members of the staff, and in the afternoon the clients enjoyed designing and creating crafts.
At least one in eight of us is affected by mental health issues, and World Mental Health Day 2022 is a chance to “rekindle our efforts to protect and improve mental health”, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a 25% increase in the prevalence of anxiety and depression worldwide and that is why creating awareness and stopping the stigma matters.
