In 2003, IDRAAC launched National Mental Health Day in Lebanon under the auspices of First Lady Andrée Emile Lahoud. As part of the World Federation of Mental Health's global initiative, this annual event focuses on raising awareness about mental health through conferences, workshops, and media campaigns across radio, television, and newspapers.

To mark the launch, First Lady Lahoud signed a proclamation emphasizing the importance of mental health in children and adolescents, urging the Lebanese public to recognize the impact of mental health disorders in these age groups.
