DEEVOICE Foundation for Hope has
proudly joined the global community to reaffirm its commitment to promoting mental health as an essential human right.
A Mental Health Advocate and Founder of DEEVOICE Foundation For Hope, Princess Diana Eyo Enoette stated this on the sideline of the World Mental Day Celebration.
She urged Nigerians to embark on a collective journey where mental health is indeed a human right, thereby enabling all to thrive and live fulfilling lives.
She also announced the release of a short film, “Amidst the Storm”, a film highlighting the strength of mothers for special needs children.
The Mental Health advocate further added that this year’s theme, “Mental Health is Human Right,” highlights the significance of equal access to mental health services, support, and understanding for all.
“Mental health is an intrinsic aspect of human wellbeing, deserving the same attention, care, and respect as physical health. We remain dedicated to fostering a world where every individual can openly seek and receive the help they need without facing stigma or discrimination.
“We believe in a society that nurtures mental health, embracing diversity, fostering understanding, and providing equitable opportunities for all.
“By standing united, we strive to create a world where mental health is not only recognized as a human right but is also fully integrated into healthcare systems, workplaces, schools, and communities”, Enoette said.
She encouraged every individual to engage in conversations, support initiatives, and raise awareness that promotes mental health advocacy.
“Together, let us dismantle barriers, challenge misconceptions, and foster a culture of empathy and kindness”, the Mental Health advocate added.
