World Forced Displacement and Mental Health Day is a global acknowledgement of the voices and lived experiences of people displaced by or living in today's unprecedented humanitarian emergencies. In this context, there is an urgent need to recognise the integral role of mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). This day is a global initiative aimed at opening dialogue and consolidating human values for the dignity and self-determination of all people in places of crisis.
