As the world comes together to mark World Mental Health Day 2025, Olorisupergal Media joins global voices in raising awareness on the importance of mental health and emotional well-being. This year’s theme, “Mental Health in Humanitarian Emergencies,” calls for greater support and access to care for people affected by crises, disasters, and conflict.

The World Health Organization (WHO) says one in five people living in conflict or disaster-affected areas experience mental health challenges, yet very few receive adequate help. The global body urges governments, organisations, and individuals to ensure mental health services are part of every emergency response.

In Nigeria, where economic hardship, insecurity, and displacement continue to affect millions, the topic of mental health remains as relevant as ever. For many Nigerians, emotional well-being is now a daily conversation, as people learn to speak more openly about anxiety, stress, and depression.

At Olorisupergal Media, we believe mental health awareness should extend beyond one day. We are committed to supporting initiatives that promote safe spaces for conversations, education, and self-care. From the creative industry to workplaces and schools, mental health plays a vital role in personal and professional stability.

This year’s observance also highlights the importance of community-driven solutions. Local organisations and health professionals across Nigeria have launched sensitisation drives, social media campaigns, and counselling sessions to mark the day. These efforts show that the message is spreading and mental health is not a taboo subject but an essential part of overall wellness.

WHO has also encouraged countries to integrate mental health into primary healthcare systems to make treatment more affordable and accessible. The focus on humanitarian emergencies this year reminds the world that people facing trauma deserve the same attention as those with physical injuries.

As we commemorate World Mental Health Day 2025, Olorisupergal Media stands with mental health advocates, survivors, and professionals working tirelessly to make well-being a priority. Everyone deserves the right to feel supported, understood, and cared for, no matter where they are or what they face.
