We marked the day with 2 weeks of activities starting from the 1st of October until the 14th of October; focusing on decreasing the stigma associated with mental illness, including a successful social media campaign involving Maldivian popular figures from various industries and the public.
Our co-founder, Yooliya Haleem was the Chief Guest of a ceremony held at the Home for People with Special Needs (K. Guraidhoo) to mark the World Mental Health Day.
After the ceremony, the personnel from the Ministry of Health and Health Protection Agency undertook a health screening programme for everyone at the home including the staff.
