Veni Creator Spiritus! Veni, creátor Spíritus mentes tuórum vísita, imple supérna grátia,... quæ tu creásti, péctora. Qui díceris Paráclitus, altíssimum donum Dei, fons vivus, ignis, cáritas et spiritális únctio. Tu septifórmis múnere, digitus patérnæ déxteræ, tu rite promíssum Patris sermóne ditans gúttura. Accénde lumen sénsibus, infúnde amórem córdibus, infírma nostri córporis virtúte firmans pérpeti. Hostem repéllas lóngius pacémque dones prótinus; dúctore sic te prævio, vitémus omne nóxium. Per te sciámus da Patrem noscámus atque Fílium, teque utriúsque Spíritum credámus omni témpore. Deo Patri sit glória, et Fílio, qui a mórtuis surréxit, ac Paráclito, in sæculórum sæcula. Amen.

Happy World Mental Health Day! World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health is...sues around the world and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health. World Mental Health Day provides an opportunity for all stakeholders working on mental health issues to talk about their work, and what more needs to be done to make mental health care a reality for people worldwide. This year’s World Mental Health Day, on 10 October, comes at a time when our daily lives have changed considerably as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The past months have brought many challenges: for health-care workers, providing care in difficult circumstances, going to work fearful of bringing COVID-19 home with them; for students, adapting to taking classes from home, with little contact with teachers and friends, and anxious about their futures; for workers whose livelihoods are threatened; for the vast number of people caught in poverty or in fragile humanitarian settings with extremely limited protection from COVID-19; and for people with mental health conditions, many experiencing even greater social isolation than before. And this is to say nothing of managing the grief of losing a loved one, sometimes without being able to say goodbye. Given past experience of emergencies, it is expected that the need for mental health and psychosocial support will substantially increase in the coming months and years. Investment in mental health programmes at the national and international levels, which have already suffered from years of chronic underfunding, is now more important than it has ever been. This is why the goal of this year’s World Mental Health Day campaign is increased investment in mental health. Learn more here: https://www.who.int//27-08-2020-world-mental-health-day-an
