WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY 2018 (PART 3)
FOCUS THIS YEAR
Investment by governments and the involvement of the social, health and education sectors in comprehensive, integrated, evidence-based programmes for the mental health of young people is essential. This investment should be linked to programmes to raise awareness among adolescents and young adults of ways to look after their mental health and to help peers, parents and teachers know how to support their friends, children and students.
This is the focus for this year’s World Mental Health Day.
