World Mental Health Day (10^th October, 2025)

Held at the Ikorodu Local Government Complex, this outreach event brought together 209 participants across five LCDAs, including artisans, farmers, religious leaders, youths, and market community members. The program was designed to deepen grassroots understanding of mental health and promote inclusive community engagement.

The event featured expert-led seminars where mental health professionals provided practical education on emotional wellbeing, stress management, early warning signs, and available support systems. This was complemented by interactive grassroots engagement sessions that allowed participants to share experiences, ask questions, and discuss mental health challenges within their communities.

The program recorded strong community participation and active engagement, with increased awareness and openness toward mental health discussions. It also generated significant interest and demand for continued mental health outreach and sustained community-based programs across the LCDAs.
