Supporting people through difficult times: How Caritas cares for mental health around the world

World Mental Health Day, observed annually on 10 October, reminds us that mental well-being is just as important as physical health. That is why mental health is a core part of our work at Caritas Czech Republic. For example, in Gaza and Ukraine, we support people whose mental health has been profoundly affected by the long-term consequences of armed conflict. We also contribute to the development of mental health services in Georgia and Moldova.

Airstrikes keep them awake, yet they help others. On World Humanitarian Day, we celebrate their work

Humanitarian workers help people overcome the most excruciating life moments, while risking their own lives. In 2003, 22 humanitarian workers were killed in a bombing attack in Baghdad. Every year on 19 August, we commemorate their memory, as well as the work of hundreds of thousands of other humanitarian workers around the world. This year, we prepared short testimonies for you, written by our employees from the Czech Republic, Ukraine and Zambia. Their work supports those who often perceive humanitarian help as their only source of hope.
