World Mental Health Day: Raising Awareness and Building a Compassionate Society

November 13, 2025

October 10th, each year comes as a timely reminder to humanity to observe World Mental Health Day. This day also issues an unwritten mandatory acceptance of the fact that mental health is not to be viewed as a luxury but as a fundamental component of human well-being. This day gives a clarion call for action, compassion and collective responsibility. The 2025 theme “Mental Health is a Universal Human Right,” emphasizes this objective, urging individuals, organizations and governments to facilitate access, understanding and empathy in all walks of life.

CSR’s Missing Link: Mental Health in Education

October 7, 2025

It is not just a personal issue—it is a systemic challenge with societal consequences.
