World Mental Health Day is celebrated across the globe on October 10

Appalachian College of Pharmacy issued the following announcement on Oct. 15

World Mental Health Day is celebrated across the globe on October 10. It is an international day aimed at educating people and spreading awareness about the importance of mental health and advocacy against social stigma. We celebrated Mental Health Awareness Day at our campus on Monday! The theme of this year’s World Mental Health Day focused on “mental health in an unequal world” with its core focus on improving access to mental health resources for everyone. 

From the start of the pandemic, many people’s mental health has been impacted. Our campus offered green balloons (mental health awareness color) for purchase to write anonymous uplifting messages to other students. The donations from the sale of the balloons were then donated to the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. We are proud to be part of the movement in raising awareness for mental health!
