The role of policy makers in addressing these issues beyond advocacy efforts cannot be ignored. With the increase in demand for mental health services, more effort is required to strengthen and build service provision to cater to this need.

The theme for this year's World Mental Health Day, 'Mental health care for all: let's make it a reality" highlights the need for affordable, accessible and inclusive mental health services.

The healthcare sector continues to be underfunded, especially with regard to mental health. This prevents meaningful change that can help make mental health care for all a reality.

Changing the narrative around suicide as a taboo topic and instead promoting open discussion on ways to get help can help reduce the stigma associated with it, and help people seek out for help when they most need it.

“Creating hope through action” is the theme for World Suicide Prevention Day 2021. Lack of mental health awareness within the community and amongst service providers, as well as social stigma and the criminalization of suicide remains a major obstacle for seeking help.

[Blue Hearts @BlueHeartsMV]

Create hope through action by acknowledging the causes of suicide and working to increase awareness on the ways to prevent it.
