OCTOBER 2019
The World mental health day 2019 was celebrated on 10th October 2019 and CRDB Bank joined the World in commemorating this day. The theme for this year was “Focusing on suicide prevention”. Suicide being a global phenomenon it occurs throughout the lifespan and therefore there was every reason for us to join the World in understanding how we might also be affected.
We selected a topic that is closely related to suicide and this was DEPRESSION as a main disorder. Many people who suffer from it have a great likelihood of committing suicide. Statistics show that close to 800 000 people die due to suicide every year, this is one person every 40 seconds.
Due to the fact that Mental health concerns everyone, we thought it would be worthwhile to raise awareness via Video conference as well as staff engagement activities as can be seen in the pictures below.
