10.10 - World Mental Health Day
On October 10, World Mental Health Day draws attention to an issue that often doesn’t get enough space in our everyday lives: our mental well-being.
Stress, feeling overwhelmed, worries, or difficult times can affect anyone. That’s why it’s so important to pay attention to ourselves and to one another, to talk openly about mental health, and to seek support when we need it.
Because mental health cannot be taken for granted. It requires time, attention and when needed, professional support.
02.10 - International Non-Violence Day
On October 2, the International Day of Non-Violence is observed around the world. The United Nations established this day in 2007 to mark the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi, who, more than almost anyone else, came to represent nonviolent resistance and the peaceful resolution of conflicts.
The day reminds us that non-violence means far more than simply refraining from physical violence. It begins with mutual respect, with listening, dialogue, and a willingness to resolve conflicts peacefully and constructively. Nonviolent communication and treating one another with appreciation can make an important contribution to this effort, in our personal relationships as well as in society and politics.
The International Day of Non-Violence invites us to reflect on how we deal with conflicts and to commit ourselves to fostering a respectful and peaceful coexistence.
