National EveryDayMatters Day was developed to build awareness, debunk stigma and encourage open and honest dialogue about mental health issues, as well as promoting the coordination of care between mental and physical health.
Our goal is to build awareness and debunk stigma every day over every year, but right now, that isn’t happening. To build a more global awareness for the millions that are affected yearly by a mental illness, the day was created. Each year, on April 16, we want everyone to take to the streets, encourage conversation and spread the word that mental illness isn’t a taboo topic.
