Every year, on October 10th, we celebrate World Mental Health Day, a date that reminds us of the importance of recognizing mental health as a fundamental human right. At a time when one in eight people suffer from some form of mental disorder, this day serves as a global call to raise awareness, promote inclusion, and improve care services.

Mental health issues not only affect emotional well-being but also the social and physical lives of those who experience them. These challenges can be debilitating, and as a society, it is crucial that we seek effective and accessible solutions. This is where the Master’s Program in Community Mental Health, offered by Comercializadora de Servicios Médicos Cubanos, S.A., comes in—an unparalleled opportunity for those who want to make a true difference in their communities.

Why is mental health a human right?

Mental health is inseparable from overall well-being, and when it is not given the proper attention, it can lead to severe personal and community consequences. Despite its importance, many people still face significant barriers to accessing adequate treatment, due to social stigma, lack of resources, or a shortage of trained professionals.

World Mental Health Day seeks not only to raise awareness, but also to inspire concrete action. This includes the training of highly skilled professionals to address mental health issues from a community perspective, focusing on prevention, treatment, and intervention.
