World Mental Health Day, observed on 10th October every year, is a global initiative run by the World Federation for Mental Health. This day is dedicated to raising awareness of mental health issues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. At Sense Massage Therapy, we recognise the significance of this day and are committed to contributing to the cause by highlighting the role of massage therapy in enhancing mental wellbeing.
Understanding the Importance of Mental Health
Mental health, an integral part of our overall wellbeing, often remains overlooked in the hustle of daily life. World Mental Health Day serves as a reminder of the importance of mental health and the need to address mental health issues with the same urgency as physical health. This day brings to light various mental health struggles faced by people globally and encourages conversations around mental health care and support.
