Milano 4 Mental Health

29 October 2024

"Milano4MentalHealth will be the perfect setting to emphasise the importance of physical activity, exercise and sport for physical and mental wellbeing, for everyone and at all ages" - Nerio Alessandri






Wellness Foundation proudly supported Milano4MentalHealth, an initiative that brought mental health to the forefront of discussions in Milan this October.

With the powerful message, “There is no health without mental health,” the festival aimed to raise awareness among citizens and institutions about psychological well-being, timed to coincide with World Mental Health Day on October 10.

Throughout the month, Milano4MentalHealth hosted events open to everyone, in partnership with organizations like the Van-Ghè Art Clinic and Milan’s Policlinico Hospital. This was a unique opportunity for the community to attend concerts, performances, and interactive workshops, actively engaging in a journey toward mental health awareness and support.

We are pleased to have collaborated with the City of Milan on this initiative, which perfectly reflects the values of our Milan Wellness City 2030 project, dedicated to promoting a culture of holistic well-being. Milano4MentalHealth provided the perfect setting to explore the importance of physical and mental health across all ages and social settings.

In today’s complex times, it has been vital to give a voice to mental health, especially with a focus on preventive care for young people, and to advocate for universal access to psychological well-being. Together, we have laid the foundation for a future where quality of life is a shared priority and commitment.




"Our commitment stems from the understanding that mental health must be embraced as a collective priority. To make this happen, we need to bring it to the forefront of public and political discussion, taking concrete steps to erase stigma and support our most vulnerable citizens. This is a mission that calls on all of us to lead the way because, truly, there is no health without mental health. Let’s start here” - Lamberto Bertolé, Milan’s Councillor for Welfare and Health
