The Indian Psychiatric Society’s Kerala chapter announced the rollout of the ‘Susmitham – Mind Your Mind, Mental Health Matters’ campaign on World Suicide Prevention Awareness Day, signalling a focused effort to normalize conversations around mental health in the state.
The launch took place on 15 September, the internationally recognised day for suicide prevention, in Kerala, and was carried out by the Keralam chapter of the Indian Psychiatric Society. No financial figures or additional operational details were disclosed at the time of the announcement.
Mental‑health advocates note that stigma remains a major barrier to seeking care in India, and the new campaign aims to address this by fostering community awareness and encouraging individuals to access professional services early. The effort is expected to benefit residents across Kerala, particularly vulnerable groups facing mental‑health challenges.
