October 10, 2024 is the 33rd World Mental Health Day, in order to further popularize mental health and mental health knowledge, and improve the public's mental health literacy, the Dadong District Health Bureau organized the Dadong District Center for Disease Control and Prevention and community health service centers and hospitals in the jurisdiction to carry out the theme publicity activity of "Co-construction, Co-governance, Sharing, One Heart and Peace of Mind" in the Dadong District.
During the event, the staff distributed popular science publicity materials, provided free psychiatric and psychological consultations and mental health care guidance, and presented mental health and mental health knowledge to residents face-to-face in an intuitive and easy-to-understand manner. The staff listened carefully to the demands of each resident, patiently answered the residents' questions, and the residents generally reported that the problems related to sleep and emotional regulation were patiently and professionally advised and guided by the staff, which played a good role in mental health care.
More than 100 people benefited from the event, and more than 300 copies of mental health publicity materials were distributed. At the same time, we also take this opportunity to appeal to residents to raise awareness of mental health issues and dispel misconceptions about people with mental disorders. Residents at the scene said, "It turns out that 'mental illness' is not as terrible as imagined, and those with mental disorders need more understanding and care from the society."
In the next step, the health system of Dadong District will continue to pay attention to the field of mental health and mental health, strengthen the construction of mental health services, and organize various activities to allow residents to easily obtain professional mental health knowledge, so as to create a supportive, caring and warm social environment.
