Today is World Mental Health Day. It is a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy:



"World Mental Health Day (WMHD) is a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy. An initiative of the World Federation for Mental Health, WMHD is an annual program held on 10 October to raise public awareness of mental health issues worldwide.
This year in Australia, WMHD has three objectives:
  1. Encourage help seeking behaviour 
  2. Reduce the stigma associated with mental illness
  3. Foster connectivity throughout communities 
The 2013 WMHD campaign aims to achieve these goals by encouraging people to take personal ownership of their own mental health and wellbeing." MHCA
