World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. We live in turbulent times and compacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, the issue of mental health is not only relevant, but crucial.

Mental health is more than the presence or absence of a mental illness. It is a crossroad between emotional, psychological and physical well-being.

UN Staff Members and UN Volunteers are not immune and may even be more susceptible to mental health issues, due to the nature of their jobs and tireless service on behalf of universal peace and sustainable development.
