Coviu supports World Mental Health Day held on Monday, 10th October 2023. It is a day for global mental health education, awareness and advocacy behind the theme of 'Mental health is a universal human right'.
In today's fast-paced world, the importance of mental health is undeniable. World Mental Health Day, observed on October 10th each year, serves as a crucial reminder of the need to prioritise mental wellbeing. In an era marked by the digital revolution, telehealth platforms like Coviu have played a significant role in promoting accessible and effective mental health care. This blog explores how Coviu supports World Mental Health Day and contributes to the broader mission of improving mental health worldwide.
The Growing Mental Health Crisis
Mental health challenges are not confined to any particular age group, gender, or socioeconomic background. The global pandemic further exacerbated these issues, as people faced unprecedented stress, isolation and uncertainty. In this context, the need for accessible and timely mental health care became more apparent than ever.
