As part of World Mental Health Day, Parc Taulí has hosted the II Mental Health Day and Cooperation for emotional well-being in the digital age.
The Conference has been organized by the ONGD Art, Culture and Creation Workshop, with the collaboration of Parc Taulí and Sabadell City Council.
At the opening ceremony, the head of child and youth mental health, Montse Pàmias, thanked the celebration of this day for "continue to raise awareness and erase the stigma that still exists towards people with a mental health problem. We've come a long way, but we still have a long way to go". And he assured that work is being done from Parc Taulí "in strategies and new ways to approach mental health from a community perspective and in people's natural environment".
For her part, the Councilor for Civil Rights and Youth, Health and Pest Management and Ecological Transition of Sabadell City Council, Sílvia Garcia, has warned that "the current situation is critical in the face of hate speech". For that, "agreement and working together is very important because mental health knows no borders".
The coordinator of the Twinning of Sabadell with the Sahrawi people from the Art, Culture and Creation Workshop, Sílvia Mestras, has highlighted the importance of celebrating this day "to share best practices and tools to fight stigma in mental health".
This year, the Conference has delved into the impact of technological development on mental health programs in the Global South through cooperation projects. In addition, it has also celebrated the 35th anniversary of Sabadell's twinning with the Sahrawi People.
World Mental Health Day
This 2024, the motto of the World Day has been "It's time to prioritize mental health in the workplace". This year we want to raise awareness that safe and healthy work environments can act as a protective factor in mental health. Stigma, discrimination and exposure to risky situations, such as harassment or precarious working conditions, can seriously affect people's mental health and their quality of life.
