On the occasion of 10th October, World Mental Health Day, in the project activities Caritas organized a local campaign against social exclusion of people with mental health problems. Stands with informational, educational and promotional materials were placed in the four towns: Bar, Podgorica, Kotor and Niksic and interested citizens had the opportunity to express their views and opinions through a questionnaire with basic questions about mental health

The quality of life of people with mental disabilities and their social reintegration does not depend exclusively on the medical treatment to which they are subjected, but to a large extent on the way other people treat them in everyday life. In this sense, community support and "social support" is the best protective factor for mental disorders.

By celebrating this day for mental health, Caritas BN is aware of the fact that changes in the attitude of society towards people with mental health problems need to be made. Only one day of sensitization is not sufficient, it is necessary to work towards this goal continuously throughout the year.
