Charitable spiritual organisation Go Spiritual India observes World Mental Health Day
The organisation launched a dynamic community outreach programme, providing mental health education and support to underserved communities, ensuring inclusivity in mental health care
Go Spiritual India took a proactive stance on World Mental Health Day, October 10, 2023, emphasising mental health and spiritual well-being under the theme "Mental Health in an Unequal World."
The organisation stressed the importance of addressing disparities in mental health access and support while promoting emotional and spiritual balance among individuals and communities worldwide.
In a focused attempt to bridge the gap between urban and rural mental health services, Go Spiritual India arranged a series of impactful events in rural schools on World Mental Health Day. The objective was to raise awareness about mental health issues where awareness levels are lower compared to urban areas.
Here are the key highlights of Go Spiritual India's World Mental Health Day Observance:
Mindfulness Workshops: Renowned spiritual leaders and mental health experts led comprehensive mindfulness workshops both in-person and online, equipping participants with tools to manage stress and anxiety, enhancing mental well-being. These workshops extended to schools, colleges, and corporate institutions, addressing stress, depression, suicide prevention, and mental well-being.
Community Support: The organisation launched a dynamic community outreach programme, providing mental health education and support to underserved communities, ensuring inclusivity in mental health care.
Events & Webinar Series: On-ground events and webinars were organised featuring experts in mental health and spirituality. Topics included the interplay of spirituality and mental health, coping strategies, and the importance of seeking assistance.
Media & Social Media Campaign: A powerful social media campaign was initiated under #SpiritualWellness, encouraging individuals worldwide to share their experiences and tips for maintaining mental health in an unequal world. This digital campaign fostered an online community, promoting open dialogue and reducing stigma. The organisation utilised various media channels to raise awareness about mental health issues.
Collaborations: Go Spiritual India collaborated with mental health professionals, local authorities, and non-profit organisations, aiming to enhance mental health services, reduce disparities in access to care, and make a tangible impact.

Police personnel escort detained army officers to the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) court in Dhaka on October 22, 2025, over charges of crimes against humanity.
A BANGLADESHI court on Wednesday remanded in custody 15 senior army officers on charges of enforced disappearances and atrocities committed during the 2024 uprising that overthrew the government.
It is the first time formal charges have been brought for enforced disappearances in Bangladesh, and the first time so many senior military officials have faced a civilian trial.
The accused, including five generals, are alleged to have operated a secret detention centre during the tenure of the now-ousted prime minister Sheikh Hasina.
All of them previously served in Bangladeshi military intelligence or the paramilitary Rapid Action Battalion (RAB).
Defence lawyer Sarwar Hossain said all the officers rejected the charges.
The army has said it will assist the judicial process, but tensions have remained high since the court issued arrest warrants earlier this month.
"They declared their allegiance to the law of the land and their respect for the judicial process," the court's chief prosecutor Tajul Islam told reporters. "That was reflected in the cooperation they have extended."
UN Human Rights Chief Volker Turk, in a statement on October 15, said the court process was an important step towards accountability. "It is a significant moment for victims and their families," Turk said.
The officers were brought to court in a prison van, accompanied by a heavy police presence.
"These officers are confident of their innocence, and believe they will be released through due judicial process," their lawyer Hossain said.
Bangladesh is also prosecuting former senior figures linked to Hasina — now a fugitive in exile in India — and her now-banned Awami League party.
According to the United Nations, up to 1,400 people were killed in clashes between July and August 2024 as security forces tried to suppress anti-government protests.
During Hasina's rule, RAB forces carried out multiple killings, and the organisation was sanctioned by the United States in 2021.
Hasina, 78, fled to New Delhi last year, where she has defied court orders to return to attend her ongoing trial for crimes against humanity related to the crackdown.
Her trial in absentia is in its final stages, with Hasina's state-appointed defence presenting closing arguments. The prosecution has sought the death penalty for her.
Hasina's Awami League says she "categorically" denies the charges.
