On World Depression Awareness Day, the Letty Coppel Foundation reaffirms its commitment to mental health through free psychological counseling and workshops.
Mental Health and Solidarity: The Letty Coppel Foundation’s Commitment Against Depression
Talking about emotional health is essential to understanding many of the challenges people face today, and within this context, depression holds a central place due to the profound impact it can have on daily life. Every January 13 marks World Depression Awareness Day, a date that invites reflection on the importance of providing support, safe listening spaces, and accessible resources to address this condition from a compassionate perspective.
Depression does not always manifest in obvious ways; it can appear as constant fatigue, lack of motivation, loss of interest in everyday activities, or a persistent feeling of emptiness. For this reason, it is crucial to promote a more empathetic understanding, free from stigma and judgment, recognizing that depression is a real health condition that requires professional care.
In this regard, the Letty Coppel Foundation maintains a strong commitment to the mental health of the communities it serves. Through its Social Assistance Center (CAS), it offers free psychological counseling to individuals who require emotional guidance and support. This service represents a fundamental pillar of the foundation’s social programs, providing a safe space to express emotions, receive professional guidance, and learn strategies to cope with situations related to depression.
In addition to individual care, the Letty Coppel Foundation develops a variety of workshops focused on strengthening emotional skills, preventing risk situations, and building support networks that contribute to overall well-being. By promoting emotional education across different age groups, the foundation reinforces its belief that mental well-being must be addressed at every stage of life.
World Depression Awareness Day also encourages reflection on the importance of eliminating prejudice surrounding mental health. Stigma remains one of the greatest barriers preventing people from seeking help. Through its actions, the Letty Coppel Foundation actively contributes to social change by promoting open conversations, empathy, and access to free emotional support.
Although this day is observed on January 13, the fight against depression must be ongoing. The foundation continues to develop social programs focused on emotional well-being, reaffirming its commitment to social assistance in Mexico and demonstrating that mental health is a fundamental pillar for building strong, resilient communities.
