It is in no way a substitute for a qualified medical opinion. Exercise benefits both the body and the mind. In low and middle-income nations, the services, expertise, and financing for mental health remain in limited supply and are well short of what is required. The first and most crucial step in replacing criticism with calm is being aware of these ideas as they arise. Be it happiness or sadness, let yourself feel and express these emotions. Making Mental Health & Well-Being for All a Global Priority is the topic of a campaign that will be launched by WHO in collaboration with partners.

World Mental Health Day 2022: Whether you are a toddler or an elderly person, pets have abundant ability to give and receive love.

Our pets give us unconditional love and also a sense of purpose, creating a better, more hopeful life. The task gives you a sense of purpose and reassuring routine, and it keeps your mind engaged. Elderly people have fewer physical activities, and hence playtime with a pet boosts their movements and keeps them fit. Give you a sense of purpose: Owning a pet implies a responsibility to look after them. When you have poor mental health, it becomes extremely difficult to express or communicate your emotions to people and at such times, having a furry friend around cheers you up and helps you release the negative energy. Pets are undoubtedly mood boosters as they offer unconditional affection and give you a feeling of companionship that provides reassurance and respite from day-to-day stress.

World Mental Health Day 2022 on 10 October is a chance to "rekindle our efforts and improve mental health" according to the World Health Organization.

I led the first service trial in a low-income African country for people with severe mental health conditions, showing that primary care workers could deliver mental health care as safely and effectively as mental health professionals ( [https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(21)00384-9/fulltext](https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanpsy/article/PIIS2215-0366(21)00384-9/fulltext)). Current projects include HOPE, an NIHR global health research group on homelessness and severe mental illness (co-PI with Professor Atalay Alem), SCOPE, a Wellcome Trust-funded study of the context of psychosis in Ethiopia to inform outcomes (PI), PROMISE, a Wellcome Trust-funded study on improving detection and care for people with psychosis in Malawi (PI Professor Stephen Lawrie), and PRIZE, an MRC-funded project to pilot a peer support intervention for people with psychosis in South Africa (co-PIs Dr. We've got a really exciting new project (HOPE) that is working in the area of homelessness and severe mental illness, which is a very visible problem in every country of the world, and yet still manages to be overlooked in terms of response. In HOPE, we'll be working in Ghana, Ethiopia, and Kenya with a diverse group of people, including mental health service user associations, policymakers or collaborators, and the WHO. I think seeing people supported and able to live in the community, a “rubbing of shoulders” with everybody else, is perhaps one of the key things that can help reduce stigma. There are many contributors, but I think a big contribution comes from inadequacies in providing health and social care to people with mental health conditions. The focus that we have is on shifting that center of gravity to our low and middle-income country partners because we very much recognize that global mental health needs to have really strong leadership from the global south. Because when people can access care in a timely way that meets their needs and enables them to recover, the general public can see that, and that's an extremely potent antidote to stigma. So in Ethiopia, we are doing some work with our mental health service user association, and we've got some new funds to co-develop some interventions around raising awareness and reducing stigma. A key obstacle that we face in Ethiopia, which is also a factor in many other countries, is that mental health goes hand-in-hand with poverty. So in that sense, there's quite a lot of momentum and a much stronger platform for change. That tends to involve the co-development, testing, and implementation of different sorts of psychological interventions, service models, and health systems strengthening approaches.

Stigma, discrimination, and human rights violations against people with mental health conditions are widespread in communities and care systems everywhere.

This training was designed to improve the quality of care in mental health and related services and to promote the rights of people with psychosocial, intellectual and cognitive disabilities. Mental health conditions are usually painful and unfortunately stigma only amplifies that distress. With approximately one billion people living with a mental disorder in 2019, services are radically under resourced. The Report provides a blueprint for governments, academics, health professionals, civil society and others with an ambition to support the world in transforming mental health. We must normalize talking about mental health and its multitude of conditions because stigma is the chain onto which all mental health conditions link. However, that represents only part of the issue; personal shame, internalized through an individual’s mental health suffering, is a silent problem.

In addition to experiencing psychological harm from the traumatic events that drive people from their homes, [research](https://journals.plos.org/plosmedicine/article?id=10.1371/journal.pmed.1003337#sec015) shows that forcibly displaced people often experience additional distress both during the escape and after, while they adjust to an unfamiliar place. Receiving countries also have an obligation to provide psychosocial support, as part of their international commitment to the right to health. “It’s essential to prevent further suffering, as well as long-term consequences for individuals, their families, and entire communities.” The needs in Ukraine remain high, and in other crisis situations that have received less attention psychosocial support is often overlooked. All but one person said they and their children have not had access to mental health and psychosocial support services.

Immaculee began to abuse drugs to try and block out the pain of what had happened to her. “There are so many cases of violence against women in this village,” said Katembo Bernard who volunteers at the listening point. This ‘listening point’ provides a safe space for survivors of violence to seek support. It took over three years of hard work to build trust and understanding through group activities, meetings and mediation. With Trócaire and ECAP’s help, 15 women survivors fought for justice at the highest court of Guatemala. The playground uses colourful materials to help children feel safe and relaxed, so they can escape the hardships of daily life in the refugee camps and have fun with other children. Yet a small hut in a remote village in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is a lifeline to many women who are affected by violence here. These supports can make a huge difference for survivors as they seek recovery, healing and justice. In many of the countries that Trócaire works in, people are severely affected by trauma because of these types of incidents. Trócaire’s local partner SAWA is providing Maya and her community with this ‘Safe Haven’ centre where children can play in the playground, do art and attend classes. During the 36-year-long Guatemalan civil war (1960 – 1996), indigenous women were systematically raped and enslaved by the military.
