Full Text: Nelson Chamisa on World Mental Health Day commemoration
Advocate Nelson Chamisa
Today it is the World Mental Health Day, a very important occasion where we stop and reflect on how we would have spent the previous year looking after the most import part of the human body, the mind.
On the 10th of October every year, the world commemorates and acknowledges the importance of mental health across the world in metropolitan and rural communities.
The focus on this year’s World Mental Health Day is on suicide, because it has become a global public health crisis that is preventable, and yet it has become a mental health menace which has taken many of our people to the grave prematurely.
