Together for Mental Health

World Mental Health Day 2025
“Let’s Talk About Mental Health – Together, We Can Make a Difference.”

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we remind ourselves that mental health is not a privilege, it’s a universal human right. Talking openly about mental health helps break stigma, foster understanding, and bring healing to individuals and communities worldwide.

For over 50 years, The Relief Trust (TRT) has been dedicated to promoting mental well-being, providing care, and empowering individuals to lead healthier, happier lives. Through continuous advocacy, community programs, and compassionate support, we have contributed to a significant reduction in mental health challenges and helped countless people find hope and recovery.

TRT is committed to an integrated approach to healing, nurturing the mind, body, and spirit within a circle of wellbeing. This holistic vision ensures that every individual receives care that honors the whole person, fostering resilience and lasting wellness.

Let’s continue the conversation, support one another, and work together to eradicate mental health stigma and build a world where everyone can thrive mentally, emotionally, and socially.
