Self-care is a set of behaviors and conscious decisions aimed at protecting the health of oneself and one’s family against diseases and harmful factors. As one of the most important life skills, self-care plays a key role in maintaining mental and physical health as well as social resilience. In times of crisis, self-care is a crucial step toward preserving individual and community health.

In line with the 2025 national theme: “Self-care literacy; the first step toward social participation and community resilience”

Iranian Psychiatric Hospital proudly emphasizes the importance of this vital skill in maintaining both mental and physical health. Self-care is the first step on the path to peace of mind, resilience, and improved quality of life—especially in times of crisis when mental health is more vulnerable than ever.

At Iranian Psychiatric Hospital, we believe that educating and empowering patients to care for themselves is not only a part of treatment, but the key to sustainable prevention and rehabilitation. With every act of self-care, we take a step toward a more balanced and healthier life. Therefore, we invite all companions, patients, families, and healthcare staff to take self-care seriously as a personal and social responsibility and to integrate it into their daily lives.

“Together, we can build a calmer, more aware, and more resilient society.”
