World Mental Health Day brings attention to mental health around the world and highlights the importance of listening to people with lived experience.
The 2026 theme, βLived experiences heard: real voices, real change,β emphasizes that people who have experienced mental health conditions should have a meaningful role in shaping the policies, services, and decisions that affect their lives.
At DBSA, we believe people living with mood disorders bring valuable expertise to conversations about mental health. Their experiences can help shape better services, stronger communities, and more responsive mental health systems.
