One-in-four adults and one-in-ten children experience mental illness during their lifetime, and many more of us know and care for people who do.
Improved mental health and wellbeing is associated with a range of better outcomes for people of all ages and backgrounds. For example, improved physical health and life expectancy.
World mental health day aims to raise awareness of the issues around the world, whilst also helping more people get the support they need.
