What is a safe zone?
A safe zone is a safe space for you and your heart. A safe zone is not only a place – it can be anything from people, pets, hobbies and things we love. Most importantly, a safe zone is a space you can come back to – to rest your mind when you're feeling mentally exhausted, to be vulnerable and be yourself, without judgement. It's where you can hear your own voice and reflect on how you're truly feeling. Wherever and whenever you feel safe, that space is your safe zone.
Together, let’s discover a safe zone, just for you. We believe everyone can find theirs.
Meet your mind, find your safe zone.
What does your safe zone look like?
Mental health is an issue that universally affects everyone. It's normal for us to go through good periods and tough periods. If you are feeling heartbroken, stressed, anxious, confused or lonely, there's nothing to be ashamed of and always remember that you are not alone. If the situation is too overwhelming, you can always lean on your friends, family or someone you trust. Seeking support does not mean you are a burden to others.
Every Day is Mind Day can support you with the tools to cope with your feelings, talk about mental health challenges and seek help without being stigmatised. We're here for you, whether you are a young person who would like to understand how you are feeling and ways to take better care of yourself or a teacher who would like to support your students’ mental well-being.

UNICEF’s work on mental health
UNICEF works with the government, civil society, private sector and young people in Thailand to raise mental health awareness and promote access to mental health resources and services.
Health and Education Reintegrating Operation or HERO, a mobile application launched with Rajanagarindra Institute, was piloted to strengthen mental health screening and referral systems by connecting schools and hospitals and by training teachers. It aims to reach around 6 million students nationwide by 2024.
LoveCare Station, an online chatroom launched with Path2Health Foundation, offers free and anonymous counselling on sexual and mental health for young people, as well as referrals to mental health services. More than 30,000 young people received online counselling in 2020.
In 2020, celebrities such as BamBam, Peck Palitchoke and BrightWin joined The Sound of Happiness campaign launched with the Department of Mental Health and JOOX Thailand to open up about their mental health struggles on a podcast with mental health experts and normalize mental health conversations for young people with their friends, family or someone they trust. The Sound of Happiness album also features six songs by leading artists such as MILLI, Blacksheep and ATTA.
For system-wide change, UNICEF is leading a study on implementing a mental health and psychosocial support system for children and young people in East Asia and the Pacific including Thailand. The study will identify how different sectors can build their resources and capacity and support social services to promote psychosocial well-being, prevention measures and responsive care for mental health conditions.
