World Mental Health Day takes place on 10 October and the theme for 2022, as set by the World Health Organisation, is ‘Make mental health & well-being for all a global priority’. We see this theme as focussing on increasing access to knowledge and support relating to mental health wherever possible globally and thought about how we could contribute.
The Founder and Chair of the Women's Health Advocacy Network Adama Bah shares her video message on this important day.
Experiencing or witnessing a traumatic event can have lasting effects on mental and emotional well-being, sometimes in ways we don't immediately recognize. If you're wondering if past experiences might be impacting you more than you realize, a confidential Online Trauma Test can be a gentle starting point for self-reflection. These tests typically ask about common symptoms associated with trauma, like intrusive thoughts, avoidance behaviors, or changes in mood. It's not a diagnostic tool, but it can help you identify patterns that might suggest seeking support from a mental health professional specializing in trauma would be beneficial. It’s about understanding yourself better and recognizing when professional help could make a difference.
