𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟱–𝟭𝟭 𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗹𝗹𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 — millions live with mental illness and their families, friends, and coworkers are affected too. This week focuses on raising awareness, reducing stigma, and improving access to care through community events, screenings, and conversations. If you or someone you know needs help, contact local mental health services or your country’s crisis line and share trusted resources.

Start conversations that listen without judgment, learn common warning signs like major changes in mood, sleep, or daily functioning, and offer practical support such as helping find a provider or accompanying someone to an appointment. Promote workplace and community supports—quiet spaces, flexible policies, peer groups—and use respectful, person-first language to reduce stigma and encourage recovery.
