World Mental Health Day is observed on October 10 every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness around mental health issues worldwide and mobilizing efforts in support of mental health.

Following its most recent survey carried out by YouGov, the PRCA MENA aims to help support the PR Industry within the region and launched its second Mental Health report.

This is perhaps one of the pandemic’s unexpected, enduring legacies: We’re now more aware and empathetic of each other’s own mental health challenges.

From industry leaders to the most junior PR professionals, wPRCA MENA has seen an industry rally together and find new meaningful connections with colleagues, rivals, and peers, by having open and honest conversations. Simply, you don’t have to be a mental health expert to reach out to others and see how they’re getting on.

As we move through the pandemic and cope with our high-stress jobs, there’s an urgency for everyone – both employers and staff – to put mental wellbeing at the top of the agenda.

PRCA MENA worked with YouGov to survey a total of 1,728 PR and communications professionals across the MENA region between July 5 and August 9, 2021.
