World Mental Health Day | 2025

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay. Poor mental health is not inevitable. Mental health care saves lives. We are working to expand and modernise person-centred services promoting positive mental health at all levels of society. TRANSCRIPT: PROF PHILIP DODD Today is World Mental Health Day, celebrated each year to remind us that there is no health without mental health. This year’s theme is access to services and mental health in catastrophes and emergencies. The theme highlights the importance of people being able to protect their mental health whatever they're going through. This can be through different things we can do to support and improve our own mental health, and access to different types of services and supports. In Ireland, our mental health services and supports sometimes have to ramp up and respond to different emergencies or incidents such as through the HSE’s coordinated Psychosocial Responses to emergencies. When a community has been impacted by a traumatic experience, self-help and community supports are an important part of the overall health service response, as well as rapid access to counselling & digital mental health supports and specialist services. Our national mental health policy, Sharing the Vision, considers mental health across a broad continuum from mental health promotion & stigma reduction, to prevention and early intervention, through to specialist mental health services. Through this work we have been able to target investment into expanding and modernising services promoting positive mental health at all levels of society and taking a person-centred approach with a focus on enabling and supporting recovery, particularly from severe mental health difficulties. Today, around the world we are communicating the same key message: that mental health care saves lives, and that inclusive mental health care leads to stronger communities. Poor mental health is not inevitable, and World Mental Health Day is an opportunity for us all to talk about mental health and consider how, together, we can help everyone have better mental health. Thank you.
