Lepra Bangladesh celebrates World Mental Health Day

16 October 2025

On World Mental Health Day Lepra Bangladesh held a series of engaging events at its head office in Bogura.

This year’s celebration focused on the urgent need to support mental health and psychosocial needs during crises such as natural disasters, conflicts, and public health emergencies.

Events included mental health guidelines in emergencies, mindfulness techniques, healing through art and play, and community leaflet distribution. The activities were designed to create engaging discussions about mental health and provide a referral mechanism between specialists, community support and other relevant services.

Alongside staff and volunteers, those attending included people affected and federation leaders.
