Milano 4 Mental Health
28 ottobre 2024
In 2024, the Wellness Foundation proudly supported Milano4MentalHealth, an initiative designed to bring mental health to the forefront of public discourse throughout the month of October. With the powerful message “There is no health without mental health”, M4MH aims to raise awareness among citizens and institutions about psychological well-being, beginning with World Mental Health Day on October 10th.
Throughout the month, Milano4MentalHealth offered a wide range of free public events, organized in collaboration with partners such as the Van-Ghè Art Clinic and the Policlinico of Milan. It provided a unique opportunity for people to attend concerts, performances, and interactive workshops, engaging directly in a path of awareness and support for mental health.
We are proud to have supported the Municipality of Milan in this initiative, which fully aligns with the values of our Milano Wellness City 2030 project, aimed at promoting a holistic and inclusive culture of well-being. Milano4MentalHealth offered an ideal setting to highlight the importance of both physical and mental health, across all ages and social contexts.
«Our commitment stems from the belief that mental health must be addressed as a collective issue. To do so, we need to place it at the center of public and political debate and implement tangible actions to eliminate stigma and support the most vulnerable members of our community. This is a responsibility we all share—because it’s true: there is no health without mental health. Let’s start here»

In a complex and challenging historical moment such as the present, it is more important than ever to amplify the conversation around mental health, especially with a preventive focus on younger generations and to promote the universal right to psychological well-being. Together, we have laid the groundwork for a future where quality of life becomes a true priority and a shared civic commitment.
