Sunday, October 10 is World Mental Health Day — a day to raise awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilize efforts in support of mental health.

Project HOPE is working to build a world where mental health is recognized as integral to health, and where everyone has access to quality care.

Mental health is essential to a healthy life. But millions of people around the world struggle silently with anxiety, fear, isolation, and depression, lacking access to the quality care they need.

  • 1 in 5 adults and 1 in 6 young people in the U.S. experience a mental illness each year
  • 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24.
  • between 76% and 85% of people in low- and middle-income countries receive no treatment for their disorder

On top of it all, the grim mental health crisis is compounded by COVID-19, climate change, disasters, and humanitarian emergencies. The entire world is in crisis.

And health care workers are at the epicenter of that crisis.

Anxious. Overwhelmed. Guilty. Burned out. Health care workers have felt all of it.

Project HOPE is reaching health care workers around the world with the support they need to cope with stress, heal from trauma, and build resilience to protect their mental health.

Because no one should struggle in silence with burdens others cannot see — but especially the health care workers who sacrifice every day to keep us safe.
