World Mental Health Day: A Personal Perspective from Mend

World Mental Health Day: October 10, 2023

On World Mental Health Day, Warren Bates, Mend’s CEO, and David Henderson, Mend’s Director of Marketing, share their personal stories of how mental and behavioral health has affected their lives, and how caring healthcare professionals have made a difference.

About World Mental Health Day

World Mental Health Day was established in 1992 by the World Federation for Mental Health to raise awareness and understanding of mental health issues. In the past, there has been a social stigma surrounding mental and behavioral health, but this awareness day is helping to change that narrative. Mental health is a phrase that describes the state of everyone’s mind, and every person experiences mental health issues at some point in their lives. These experiences do not need to be hidden or experienced alone.

Mend’s Passion

At Mend, we are passionate about mental and behavioral healthcare because we have both been personally affected by it. We believe that raising awareness, educating others, and sharing our stories can help others realize that they are not alone on their mental health journey.
