Changing the name of the "Friends of Psychiatric Patients" Association to "Friends of Mental Health"
The Minister of Social Development in Bahrain, Osama Al Alawi, issued a decision to change the name of the Psychiatric Patients Friends Society to the Mental Health Friends Society, to promote awareness of mental health wellness and provide early support. This followed the approval of the extraordinary general assembly during its meeting in April 2026 to amend the name. The aim of the change is to move away from labeling individuals as patients and to strengthen the society’s preventive and educational role. The new name will be adopted once the decision is published in the official gazette.
