Children and adolescents form a third of the world`s population. Research has demonstrated that adverse experiences in childhood impact lifelong mental and physical health.

World Infant, Child, and Adolescent Mental Health Day (WICAMHD) takes place on April 23rd each year to recognise and advocate for the global promotion of infant, child and adolescent mental health 🌏

This year’s theme highlights the importance of individuals sharing their own experiences with mental health to build bridges of understanding. By speaking in their own words, they foster empathy, dispel stigma, and create connections that enhance support and awareness within communities.
