This #WorldMentalHealthDay, we share the story of Jesus Emmanuel Sevilleja, an epidemiologist at the National Center for Mental Health Philippines, and one of more than 141,000 learners of the WHO QualityRights in Mental Health course. 💙
“The course reshaped the way I view mental health by grounding it in human rights, dignity, and recovery-oriented practice.”
The course helps health workers and communities build inclusive systems of care and challenges stigma in mental health. 🌍

Every 40 seconds, someone dies by suicide, but every conversation can be a chance to save a life. 💬
Pay attention to sudden changes in mood, behavior, or sleep. Notice when someone starts withdrawing or using substances more often.
These may be signs that they are struggling silently.
Check in. Ask how they are doing. Listen without judgment. Your concern could be the lifeline they need.
For journalist Tina Nolasco, reporting on suicide means more than telling the story. It means choosing words and details with care, recognizing the impact they can have on audiences and on people who may be struggling.
